In a strategic move to bolster their lineup, Western Force has successfully signed former New Zealand winger George Bridge for the upcoming Super Rugby season. The two-year deal marks Bridge's return from a three-year tenure in French rugby, where he played for Montpellier in 2022 following a stint with the All Blacks.
Replacing Wallabies winger Harry Potter, Bridge brings his dynamic play and experience from the Canterbury Crusaders, where he was instrumental in securing multiple Super Rugby titles. Force coach Simon Cron praised Bridge for his professionalism and ability to fill multiple positions, highlighting his impressive left foot kick and rugby acumen.
Western Force aims to break their playoff drought since joining Super Rugby in 2006, bolstered by Bridge's exceptional talent. Despite a challenging season last year, finishing ninth, hopes are high for the Force to make a significant impact with Bridge now part of their squad.
