Rugby career

[edit | edit source]

Metcher played club rugby for the Gungahlin Eagles before being selected to join the Brumbies academy in 2011.[1] He joined Sydney club Randwick that year and played for Australia U-20 at the 2011 IRB Junior World Championship in Italy. He switched to the Southern Districts club in 2012.[1][4]

In 2013, Metcher played against the British and Irish Lions twice – firstly off the bench for the Western Force, and then starting as tighthead prop for Combined NSW-QLD Country.[5][6] In early 2014 he was selected in the Gen Blue Waratahs development side to play in the Pacific Rugby Cup.[7] Later in 2014 he joined the NSW Country Eagles squad,[8] before signing with Melbourne. Metcher made six Super Rugby appearances for the Rebels and eight National Rugby Championship appearances for the Rising from 2015 to 2016.[9]

He moved to the United States and began playing with the Seattle Seawolves in 2018.
