The Melbourne Rebels have announced the signing of experienced Wallabies fly‑half Quade Cooper for the 2019 Super Rugby season.

Cooper has signed a one‑year contract and will join the Rebels in mid‑November for the start of their 2019 pre‑season campaign as he looks to add to his 70 Test and 119 Super Rugby caps.

Cooper says he has enjoyed the community connections he’s been able to build in his recent absence from Super Rugby and is eager to contribute to the success of the Rebels in 2019.

Super rugby's organising body Sanzaar has confirmed the dates for the 2019 Super rugby season which will start on Friday 15 February.
