The Houston Strikers signed their first coach a week ago and now they have their first player. Australian-born flyhalf Sam Windsor has agreed a deal that will see him move to the Major League Rugby club for the 2018 season as a player-coach. Windsor will join head coach Justin Fitzpatrick in making the move south from Seattle Saracens, having joined the club earlier this year after departing from a professional contract with Ulster in the Guinness Pro 12.
For Windsor, who turns 30 in July of this year, the move is most welcome with his initial plan to join up with the now seemingly-defunct PRO Rugby. His journey as a professional has taken him from the Shute Shield in Sydney to Blackheath in England and then back to Australia with the NSW Country Eagles in the National Rugby Championship. He joined Worcester Warriors in December 2014 but did not play an Aviva Premiership game for the club after suffering a shoulder injury in a reserve grade match, and then signed with Ulster ahead of the 2015-16 season.
