Kurtley Beale Returns to Western Force for 2025

Kurtley Beale, the 36-year-old Wallabies utility back, has signed a one-year contract with the Western Force as he continues his rehabilitation from an Achilles injury. After a successful stint with the Force last season, where he made a significant impact, Beale's aspirations for a Wallabies recall were dashed following his injury during a Shute Shield match. He has relocated to Perth with his family and is currently engaged in individual pre-season training with the hope of returning to play later in the 2025 Super Rugby season. Beale expressed gratitude for the opportunity and is committed to returning in top shape to help the Force aim for a finals series. The Force management is optimistic about Beale's recovery and his potential contributions both on and off the field. This move keeps Beale's dream of participating in the British & Irish Lions series alive as he seeks to make a comeback.
