Utility back Cam Clark has signed a new deal with the Waratahs, as he commits to his third Super Rugby season with the Sydneysiders.

The 25-year-old has re-signed with the club as he continues to challenge for a regular spot in the match-day 23.

“That is one of the reasons I want to continue playing rugby in NSW (New South Wales). The environment creates healthy competition for positions, and it drives us to prove ourselves to the coaches and compete for those starting positions,” Clark said.

“I am enjoying being part of this group, love pulling on the sky blue jersey and I’m thankful for the opportunity to stay with a team I grew up supporting,” said Clark, who is also a proud Northern Suburbs club representative.

He made his debut for the State in 2017 and has earned 25 caps for NSW, including 23 Super Rugby matches.

“Personally I think I’ve grown a lot in the past two seasons here so I’m really focused on having a solid pre-season and play my part in our success in 2019.”

“This off-season is about recovering from niggling injuries and getting my body ready for pre-season and beyond. We have a great group of guys here who are determined to improve on our 2018 season and push for the Super Rugby title.”

Waratahs head coach Daryl Gibson said Clark has demonstrated sheer determination in 2018.

“Cam has an outstanding work ethic and that was evident in how he battled back from a shoulder injury to play this year. His focus needs to be on taking his game to the next level. It is great to have him in the mix and give the coaches a few headaches come selection time,” Gibson said.
