Wallabies midfielder turns down Waratahs to re-sign with Western Force
By AAP
Centre Kyle Godwin has knocked back the NSW Waratahs to re-sign with the Western Force for another two years.
It was believed the 28-year-old would link with the Waratahs but he instead re-committed to the Perth-based club where he started his Super Rugby career.
Brumbies veteran centre Tevita Kuridrani is also believed to be joining the Force for the 2021 season.
Making his debut as a 19-year-old in 2012, Godwin played five seasons with the Force before two years in Canberra with the Brumbies and a stint in Ireland.
Godwin was one of the Force's best performers through Super Rugby AU, despite the side not managing to crack a win.
Earning one Wallabies cap in 2016, he said he was happy to remain in Perth, where he grew up.
"This club holds a special place in my heart and to be able to represent WA again means the world to me," Godwin said in a statement.
"It feels like a homecoming after beginning my career here all those years ago."
With 60 Western Force caps to his name, Godwin said he was enjoying playing under coach Tim Sampson, who also recently re-signed.
"I've really enjoyed the style of play that Tim Sampson has instilled into this group," he said.
"I'm really looking forward to growing as a player under him."

Aha. An Irishman with logic! Follow the flow: - Ireland peaks with a >80% win record between 2020 and 2023. And then… - crashes out of another QF at the WC; - Beat a poor French Team; - Beat 6N wooden spoonists Italy; - Play shite against eventual wooden spoonists Wales; - Lose against the most boring, “the worst English team ever” , a team widely regarded as unable to attack; - scrape through against Scotland. This article, No - Trimble, is on the money! Except for one glaring statement: _The Springboks have a few aces in the hole in this debate being the reigning world champions and official world number ones_ There is no debate, boys and girls. There it is. In black and white. “Reigning World Champions and OFFICIAL world number ones”. Come July, the overrated Andy Farrell and this overhyped team are going to enter into a world of hurt.
