We are excited he is going to continue his incredible legacy with the humility and wisdom he is known for.

They want to develop and grow and play at a very high level, and they have the talent to do that.

I’m eager to see how I can contribute to the success of the club in 2022 and beyond.” Michael Engelbrecht

Matt also has experience working within storied rugby setups such as the Wigan Warriors (Rugby League) and Preston Grasshoppers (Rugby Union). In addition to playing with our Dallas Harlequins, he has been signed to a development contract by the Dallas Jackals.

A dedicated and popular contributor both on and off the field, Matt’s support has aided a progressive upturn in on-field performance, a trend that he’s already investing further into, working closely with the senior squad on individual and tailored plans in the current off-season.

“I’m excited to see the continued improvement in our ability to play a fast and physical style of rugby. I think the boys enjoyed being on the right side of physical contests and have been putting even more effort to make 2022 our year. I think we can expect a lot of positive momentum as we start our new season.” Matt Frings
