Get ready for some exciting news in the world of rugby! A rising star is about to make his mark at the Wests Tigers, and we can't wait to see what he brings to the team.
Meet Jack Attard, a 19-year-old rugby sensation who's about to embark on a three-year journey with the Tigers. But here's where it gets interesting: Attard's not just any young player; he's a multi-cup champion with a bright future ahead.
After an impressive 2025 season, where he dominated in the SG Ball Cup, Jersey Flegg Cup, and Knock on Effect NSW Cup, Attard is ready to take on a new challenge. And this is the part most people miss: his journey began with a stellar performance in the Australian Secondary Schools Rugby League (ASSRL) Championship, leading his team to a dominant 40-12 win in the Grand Final.
But Attard's not alone in this exciting venture. He'll be joined by fellow Wests Tigers Pathways player, Jared Haywood, creating a dynamic duo for the upcoming 2026 pre-season. Imagine the potential on the field!
Attard's enthusiasm is palpable. He can't wait to meet his new teammates and dive into pre-season training. "I'm thrilled to join the Wests Tigers and hit the ground running with the boys," he said. "After chatting with Benji and seeing the Club's vision, I'm eager to contribute and be a part of this amazing group. There's so much talent and expertise here, and I'm ready to learn and grow as a player."
And the feeling is mutual. Benji Marshall, the Head Coach of Wests Tigers, is delighted to welcome Attard to the team. "Jack is an exceptional young talent, and we're thrilled to have him on board. He's not just skilled on the field but also possesses a great character and a strong desire to develop. We can't wait to integrate Jack and his family into our Club and begin our pre-season journey together."
