Horwill commits to Reds
May 29 2009
Wallabies lock James Horwill has re-signed with the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) and the Reds for a further two years.
The Reds captain celebrated his 24th birthday by completing contract negotiations with the Queensland-based Super 14 franchise before the Wallabies' squad goes into training camp next week.
"I love playing for Queensland and the Wallabies and I was honoured to play my 50th game for Queensland (the Reds) as the captain," Horwill said.
"My focus now is to help the Reds enjoy the consistent success the coaches and team are working hard to achieve."
Horwill has played ten internationals for Australia and made his Reds' debut in the Super 14 in 2006.
The Reds have struggled in recent seasons and finished second last in this year's Super 14 series ahead of South Africa's Cheetahs.
