Coleman trades Brumbies for Western Force

The Western Force have signed Brumbies utility back Robbie Coleman for the 2017 and 2018 Super Rugby seasons.

The 26-year-old will leave the Canberra based club with a year left on his contract and head west to continue his rugby career.

After 80 caps with the Brumbies, Coleman says it was time to change and the fact that he’ll now be coached again by Dave Wessels was a huge factor in his decision.

“We’re delighted to sign Robbie,” said head coach Dave Wessels. “We’ve actually been trying to get him for a number of years as I was lucky enough to have coached him at the Brumbies.

“We know he’s a very good player and we know he’s exactly the type of player we want in our group as well, so we’re very pleased to have him come to the west.”
