NSW Waratahs is delighted to confirm Australian loose forward Angus Scott-Young has signed with the club on a two-year deal.
The 28-year-old will begin pre-season training at Daceyville next month, after recently parting ways with Northampton Saints in the UK.
The son of former Wallaby Sam Scott-Young, Angus grew up in Brisbane and made 69 Super Rugby appearances for the Queensland Reds prior to joining Northampton in 2022.
Scott-Young, who has represented Australia at under-20 level, won the Premiership title with Northampton in 2024 and played in the European Rugby Champions Cup Final earlier this year.
NSW Waratahs recruit Angus Scott-Young said:
"I'm really excited to be back in Australia and playing Super Rugby again. It's such a fast, dynamic competition, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to represent the Waratahs. The club has a proud history and passionate supporters, so I'm looking forward to contributing and being part of something special.
"There's a lot to be excited about with this group at the Waratahs. The squad is full of talented players with huge potential and the coaching setup under Dan McKellar and Lachlan McCaffrey is world-class.
"The 2014 Waratahs were a team that galvanised rugby across Australia and that legacy has always inspired me. I'd love to help this group emulate that success, especially as we head towards a home Rugby World Cup in 2027. Ultimately, I want to contribute as much as I can to the club, help drive standards, and put myself in the best position to earn a place in the Wallabies setup."
NSW Waratahs head coach Dan McKellar said:
"Angus is tough and physical with a high work ethic, along with being of quality character, and these are all traits we value at the Waratahs.
"He has experienced great success with Northampton over the last four years while establishing himself as a leader at that club.
"Angus consistently delivers a high level of performance when he takes the field and we look forward to seeing what he can do in a sky blue jersey."
