Scarlets sign Australia A prop Archer Holz
SCARLETS have signed Australia A and former Brumbies, Waratahs, and La Rochelle tighthead prop Archer Holz.
The 24-year-old hoped to make his mark on a return to the Waratahs earlier this year but was denied by a shoulder injury.
“After having a taste of European rugby with La Rochelle, I think my game suits rugby in the northern hemisphere,” said Holz.
“It has been a frustrating year, but I’m excited for what’s to come at Scarlets.
“I can’t wait to get started and meet up with my team-mates.”
Holz will arrive at Parc y Scarlets in November.
Scarlets boss Dwayne Peel said: “Archer is a young prop who we’ve been keeping an eye on for a while.
“He has a strong set-piece game.
“He’s a powerful scrummager who has been highly rated coming through the ranks in Australia.”
