Young stars recommit to Australia Sevens program

The Australian Men’s Sevens team have secured the signatures of five young stars with Lachlan Anderson, Charlie Taylor, Boyd Killingworth, Dylan Pietsch and Tim Anstee all re-signing. Killingworth and Anstee have signed through until the end of 2020 with the pair now setting their sights on the Tokyo Olympics. Anderson has signed on until August 2018 while Taylor and Pietsch have extended theirs deals until August 2019. Anstee, Anderson and Taylor were a revelation in the 2016/17 Sevens World Series after making their debuts under Andy Friend this season. “These are five very important re-signings as we build to the Commonwealth Games and Sevens World Cup next year, as well as the Tokyo Olympics in 2020," Australian coach Andy Friend said. “Boyd has been a pillar of strength for us this season while Dylan has really stepped up since making his debut in Wellington this year. And Charlie has added some fantastic finishing ability since crossing over from rugby league. â
