Rugby Australia are pleased to confirm Harry Potter has re-committed until the end of 2027, joining the NSW Waratahs for the next two Super Rugby Pacific seasons.
Born in London and raised in Melbourne, Potter has taken the path less travelled to reach the highest level.
A Moorabbin Rams junior, Potter moved to Sydney after school to study at Sydney University and ended up playing and winning two Shute Shield titles with the Students.
He featured for the NSW Country Eagles and Melbourne Rising in the National Rugby Championship before joining the Rebels Super Rugby squad ahead of the 2020 season but didn't make his professional debut.
The following year, the versatile back, moved to his birth country, linking up with Leicester Tigers where he went on to become a key member of the 2022 Premiership winning side and finished with 67 appearances and 20 tries for the club over three seasons.
He returned to Australia at the end of 2023, signing with the Western Force ahead of the 2024 Super Rugby Pacific season.
He made his Super Rugby Pacific debut for the Force in round one last year and went on to make his international debut, scoring against Scotland in Edinburgh.
The 27-year-old had another standout year for his club in 2025 and started for the Wallabies on the wing in Sunday's victory over Fiji.
Wallaby number 989 and NSW Waratahs recruit Harry Potter said: "I'm really happy to have my future secured for the next two years.
"I'd like to thank the Western Force for giving me the opportunity to come home to Australia and pursue my dream of playing for the Wallabies, and I'm looking forward to joining the Waratahs ahead of next year.
"There's some incredibly exciting opportunities on the horizon in Australian Rugby and I'll be working hard to give myself every chance to be part of them in a gold jersey."
Rugby Australia's Director of High Performance, Peter Horne said: "While still relatively new to the Test arena, Harry brings a wealth of professional experience that adds real value to the national program."
"We're delighted he has re-committed to Australian Rugby for the next two years and look forward to supporting him as he continues to grow and perform at the highest level, both on and off the field."
NSW Waratahs Head Coach, Dan McKellar said: "Harry brings experience. He's been in programs where he's won things … he has won trophies; and he's got good versatility.
"He's got the ability to cover wing and can play 13. He played 13 at Champions Cup Quarter-Final. He can play fullback. He's had a taste of Test match rugby as well.
"There is the skill set that he brings … And we think his game suits the style and the direction that we're heading in. We're excited to have Harry on board."
