Force secure signature of outside back Grealy on two-year deal

The Western Force are rapt to confirm the signing of ex-Queensland Reds outside back Mac Grealy on a two-year deal prior to the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season.

Grealy, 22, impressed the coaches on a train-and-trial deal in the Force’s recent South African spring tour, starting all three games, scoring one try playing both wing and full-back.

The former Australian Schoolboys Rugby Team member previously played 26 Super Rugby games for the Queensland Reds after debuting in 2021, having won the Club’s U20s Player of the Year in 2020.

More recently, Grealy scored a double in the Reds’ 36-35 loss to Wales in July, following a strong Super Rugby season that included 11 starts with over 800 carry metres and a joint team-high 11 line breaks.

Grealy is the latest Toowoomba product to join the Force, following Wallabies centre Hamish Stewart and front-rower Harry Hoopert.

“I’m really excited to be joining the Force for the next two seasons,” Grealy said.

“I really enjoyed getting to know all the players and staff over our time in Africa and can’t wait to build on those connections through pre-season.

“There’s been a great feel around the group and it’s something I’m grateful to be a part of while adding value where I can.”

Force head coach Simon Cron said he’d long been an admirer of Grealy and was thrilled to bring him on board.

“Watching Mac play for a number of years we have always been impressed by his high work rate and ability to link in attack,” Cron said.

“His ability to play at 15, or wing, is a huge asset to our team. You’ll see he has an enormous number of last passes for tries.

“His personality type fits in with the player group we have here. He is humble and hungry, and it is a credit to those who have worked with him in his rugby development.

“He’s been great since arriving in Perth. He’s highly motivated and has a lot of exciting rugby left at 22-years of age.”

Grealy’s signing follows the recruitment of Wallabies Brandon Paenga-Amosa, Dylan Pietsch, Harry Johnson-Holmes and Darcy Swain along with internationally capped hooker Nic Dolly, Divad Palu, Josh Thompson, Vaiolini Ekuasi, Nick Champion de Crespigny, Sio Tomkinson and Matt Proctor ahead of the 2025 season.
