— Speedster Corey Toole is staying in the nation’s capital. The electric Wallabies winger has signed a two-year contract extension with the ACT Brumbies, keeping him at the club through the 2028 season.

The announcement, made just days ago, is a big win for both the Brumbies and Australian rugby as they gear up for a massive couple of years. With the 2026 Super Rugby Pacific finals heating up and the 2027 Rugby World Cup on home soil fast approaching, locking in one of the game’s most dangerous finishers is timely.

Toole’s story is a classic Australian rugby fairytale. From his roots in Forbes and Wagga Wagga, he rose through local clubs before heading to Canberra. He first made his name on the world stage with the Australian Sevens, where he lit up the circuit by scoring an incredible 43 tries in a single season and helped deliver Australia’s maiden World Series title. After representing the country at the Commonwealth Games, Sevens World Cup, and Paris Olympics, he made the successful switch to the 15-man game.

Since bursting onto the Super Rugby scene with the Brumbies in 2023, the 27-year-old has been a constant threat. His blistering pace, footwork, and ability to score tries from nowhere have made him a fan favorite. His Wallabies debut in 2025 was typical Toole—he scored almost immediately after coming off the bench against South Africa. At the official press conference, a clearly happy Toole spoke about why he’s staying:

Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham was equally pleased, praising both Toole’s talent and his character:

Rugby Australia’s Director of High Performance, Peter Horne, added:

This deal gives Toole stability and the chance to focus on what he does best—running in tries and terrorizing defenses. For Brumbies fans, it means more highlight-reel moments from one of the quickest players in the country. For the Wallabies, it’s another key piece secured for the home World Cup campaign.

It’s been a strong week for Australian rugby retention, and Toole’s decision will be welcomed by supporters right across the country.
