Reds flyer Filipo Daugunu has re-signed with Queensland for four years and the speedster is squarely in the Wallabies' sights in his new deal.
Daugunu officially became Wallaby eligible earlier this month after serving the minimum residency period and will certainly be a contender for a Test position.
Rugby.com.au reports the winger, who missed much of the 2019 season with a broken arm, is clearly highly-rated by Rugby Australia and signed to a national top-up deal in this contract.
Daugunu said he was passionate about the Reds' future, with a host of exciting young talent coming through.
Reds coach Brad Thorn said he felt Daugunu could be a greater threat on both sides of the ball in 2020.
He says Daugunu is an amazing athlete who is powerful and has great agility.
The former Labasa soccer team goalkeeper burst onto the Australian rugby scene after joining Brisbane's Wests club in 2017 and starring for Queensland Country in the NRC.
He played 14 matches for the Reds in his debut Super Rugby season in 2018, scoring six tries along the way and giving Queensland fans plenty of reason to feel excited about his potential.
