Toronto Arrows News Release
TORONTO, ON - The Toronto Arrows are pleased to announce that centre / wing Nic Benn has re-signed with the club for the 2024 Major League Rugby season.
Benn, 22, was limited to just one match in his first campaign in North America after suffering a shoulder injury in the team's season opener.
The six-foot-two, 205-pound back remained with the team throughout the 2023 season to progress through his rehabilitation program and is tracking to be back to full health ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Benn arrived at the Arrows from Shute Shield side Manly. He scored six tries in his breakout season with the Marlins' senior team in 2022 after spending two years developing in the club's under-20 program.
He is designated as a domestic player through his Canadian eligibility, as his mother was born and raised in northern British Columbia.
The Newcastle, Australia-born back played his grassroots rugby with Lake Macquarie, and in his last year of high school was chosen to represent his birth nation when he earned a spot on the Australian under-18 sevens team competing at the 2019 World School Sevens competition in New Zealand.
The club will be making additional signing announcements in the coming weeks as 2024 season preparations continue to build.
