🚨 Big News for Scarlets Fans! 🚨
The Scarlets are making waves with an exciting new signing that has the rugby world buzzing! They’ve secured the talents of rising New Zealand star Fletcher Anderson from the Crusaders in a stunning move. This dynamic No. 8 made a big impression in the Crusaders’ Super Rugby title-winning season and was the standout performer for Tasman Makos, scooping up accolades like Man of the Year, Player of the Year, and Defender of the Year in the 2025 NPC campaign.
Standing at an imposing 6ft 2in and weighing 107kg, the 22-year-old Anderson is known for his powerful carries, relentless work-rate, and aggressive defence. Head coach Dwayne Peel is thrilled about the addition, describing Anderson as a “hugely talented forward” who has had an exceptional season and will bring plenty of firepower to the squad.
The Scarlets are hopeful Anderson’s arrival will bolster their squad after struggling with a string of injuries in the forward pack. He’ll be joining a competitive group of players like Taine Plumtree and Josh Macleod for a spot in the back row.
Anderson expressed his excitement about joining the team, saying: “I’ve heard great things about the direction Scarlets are heading, and I’m eager to get to Llanelli and meet everyone. Last season was just the beginning, and I can’t wait to help push the team further this year.”
This signing couldn’t come at a better time as the Scarlets prepare for big fixtures in the URC and Champions Cup. Stay tuned for what promises to be a thrilling season ahead! 🏉🔥
