Position: Lock
Height: 200cm
Weight: 108kg
Date of Birth : 2/4/1991

The Emirates Western Force have secured one of Australia’s brightest forward prospects, with teenager Luke Jones signing a one year rookie contract with the club.

Jones, who captained NSW Schools at the recent National Championships, becomes the first forward to sign a full-time professional contract whilst still in school in Australian rugby history.

The 18 year old has played the majority of his representative rugby at lock, but also has the versatility to play blindside flanker or number 8.

A product of St Pius X College in Chatswood, Jones will begin training with the WA club at the completion of the Australian Schoolboys tour of the UK in December.

RugbyWA General Manager, Rugby, Mitch Hardy, said Jones was the outstanding forward at the Schools National Championships.

“Based on his recent performances, we view Luke as a player who will be a candidate for Super 14 selection in 2010,” Hardy said.

Weight 108cm?????????

He's either really short, or that should read girth!

got it straight from RugbyWA I will edit :redface:

with a waistline like that he should be a prop!

Pretty impressed with the big fellas game in a losing team tonight.
Hope the Force will keep an eye on him and try and lure him back soon.
One of our bad development player losses.

also heisnt really straight judging by his picture...

I thought he was great against the Tahs too. About the only ex-Force player who actually played well. Mitch Inman was non-existant. O'Connor was average and missed the tackle for Carter's first try.

Luke holmes also had a cameo

Played 2 Games for the Force back in 2010, rated 49.76% (Round 2, 2010) and 58.89% (Round 7, 2010)
