Canadian international Andrew Coe will play for Rugby New York in the 2022 Major League Rugby season. The versatile outside back’s destination – rumored for several weeks – was confirmed by Rugby Canada this week. He is currently playing in the World Sevens Series events at Dubai.
Coe emerged as a highly-rated prospect in Canada’s age-grade system, captaining the national u20 side in 2016 before making the jump to test rugby the following year. The 25-year-old from Markham, Ontario, has won 14 test caps to date with 15 World Sevens Series events played in prior to Dubai. He was selected to both Rugby World Cup 2019 and the Tokyo Olympics.
Primarily a fullback, Coe could be a replacement for the departed Ben Foden in New York’s lineup though he is also comfortable at outside center or wing. New York have yet to formally announce his signing with only three players – Andy Ellis, Dylan Fawsitt, and Nate Brakeley – confirmed to date for the new season.
