Cameron Shepherd has signed - his new contract takes him through to 2010 here in Perth with the Force.

He has represented the Wallabies 6 times - including the RWC in France when he came on against the Canadians in Bordeaux.

This Super 14 season could see him gain his 50th cap - an article in today's Sunday Times quotes him as saying that the Western Force Fans are a part of the reason he is staying. He is reported to have rejected offers from all the other Australian Super 14 franchises.

I said i'd wait till an official announcement was made and now that that happened, bloody brilliant stuff

I'm not worried about the two year thing, he's probably wiating to see whether a trip to europe is on the cards (which is a possibility if he's not the guaranteed fullback for RWC

Judging by last night he'd be sick of signing his signature....AJ Whalley, crowd hero!
