Kye Oates, injured in his rookie season, signed a two-year contract with the ACT Brumbies, aiming for a Super Rugby comeback after surgery.
Kye Oates knew his rookie season was destined to end with surgery the moment he hit the turf with a fractured and dislocated ankle.
But Stephen Larkham has seen enough in the ACT Brumbies outside back to offer Oates a two-year deal which keeps him in Canberra until the end of 2028.
Oates burst onto the Super Rugby Pacific scene with three appearances this year, only for his season to be cut short by a gruesome injury suffered in a Brumbies Runners game in May.
