The New England Free Jacks Bring More International Experience to the 2025 Roster

The New England Free Jacks are excited to announce the addition of Canadian international sevens stars Brock Webster and Josiah Morra to their roster for the 2025 season. Both players bring world-class experience across both sevens and fifteens, X-factor, and a fresh burst of energy that promises to fuel the Free Jacks in 2025.

Brock Webster

​​A versatile and tenacious wing/fullback from Uxbridge, Ontario, Brock Webster has been a rising force in both the sevens and fifteens formats for Canada. 

Known for his speed, resilience, and ability to break through defenses, Webster has racked up numerous accolades that showcase his elite rugby skills. A former standout with the Toronto Arrows, he was named Rugby Canada’s Young Player of the Year in 2018 and demonstrated his scoring prowess on the world stage at the 2022 Sevens Rugby World Cup, where he led Canada as their top point-scorer.

Webster’s comfort in high-pressure environments is expected to elevate the Free Jacks’ attack, bringing a level of intensity and poise that only comes from competing at an elite level. His commitment to growth, combined with a genuine enthusiasm for joining the Free Jacks, signals a player ready to make a lasting impact both on and off the field. Webster is especially eager to connect with Boston’s vibrant sports culture and the passionate New England fanbase.
