Canada’s Mason Flesch Signs with Newcastle Red Bulls of England’s Top Rugby Division

On Wednesday, Canadian international Mason Flesch signed with England's Newcastle Red Bulls through the 2026-27 season, becoming the first Canadian to join the Premiership Rugby club since 2019.
Flesch joins the squad after helping the Chicago Hounds complete an undefeated Major League Rugby season, scoring a try in their 35-17 championship victory over the California Legion.
The 26-Test veteran has earned 26 caps for Canada and scored three tries in two Pacific Nations Cup matches, including two against Fiji.
Newcastle head coach Dan McFarland praised the signing, stating, "Mason has been a stand-out performer in Major League Rugby and for his country, and deserves this opportunity," as the club seeks depth after losing its first three Premiership Rugby games.
Flesch arrived on Tyneside this week to train full-time for the 2027 Rugby World Cup in Australia, noting, "I'm incredibly excited to be a part of this team.
