Karmichael Hunt signs contract extension with Waratahs

Karmichael Hunt has re-signed with the Waratahs for the 2020 Super Rugby season.

The 33-year-old arrived this year at the club on a player-swap deal with Queensland, making 2020 his second season at Waratahs.

"I’m grateful for the opportunity the Waratahs gave me to play Super Rugby [in 2019] and the care and support provided by my teammates and everyone within the organisation,” Hunt said in a release.

“My family and I are happy in New South Wales and the environment at the Waratahs is a huge part of that, it’s a place that’s been great for me both professionally and personally.

“We’ve got a good young squad of guys that I’m looking forward to playing alongside, sharing some of my experiences with and contributing to their development [in 2020].

“Next season is a new challenge for all of us, it’s exciting and I can’t wait to get started.”

The six-Test Wallaby was expected to be one of the main bolters in the Wallabies squad for the World Cup, however, a knee injury would end his dream.
