Quade Cooper signs with Australian Sevens team
“As a rugby player growing up you never think you’ll have the chance to
play at an Olympics so I’ll be doing everything I can to make the squad," says Cooper. His French club, Toulon, will release him for the Sydney, Paris and London legs of the 2015-16 Sevens World Series.
Commenting on the signing, Australian Sevens Head Coach Andy Friend said, "We are delighted that Quade has agreed to join the national Sevens program. He brings with him an x-factor that I feel could add an extra dimension to our squad.The key for us is the fact that Quade has a genuine desire to represent his country in the World Series and Rio 2016 Olympics. I believe we already have a talented squad and adding Quade to that mix will only help us as we look ahead to a busy 2016.”
