Overview
- The Ospreys confirmed on Wednesday that Lawson Creighton will join the club for the 2026-27 season, signing from the NSW Waratahs.
- Creighton is a 6'1" playmaker who can operate at fly-half, centre and full-back and made 26 appearances for the Waratahs after starting his Super Rugby career with the Queensland Reds.
- Head coach Mark Jones said the signing fills a number 10 vacancy created by Jack Walsh's departure and ensures cover while Dan Edwards is away on international duty.
- Creighton's arrival continues a targeted Australian recruitment drive at the Ospreys that this month has already brought in Liam Wright and Lalakai Foketi and kept Ryan Smith at the club.
- The club expects Creighton's Super Rugby experience to speed the development of the younger backs through on-field leadership and training-room mentorship, with potential knock-on effects for squad competition and selection next season.
