The ACT Brumbies have confirmed winger Corey Toole has inked a one year extension at the club.
Toole has been one of the Brumbies best since his debut in 2023, crossing for 17 tries in 27 matches.

Originally making his name in Sevens, Toole returned to the format for the 2024 Olympics, helping Australia to a team-high fourth position.
The 24-year-old has been involved in the Wallabies squad throughout the Rugby Championship as he eyes a debut.
the club aims to go one further in the coming season.
“It’s been a massive year for sure, but returning to the Brumbies has always been on my mind,” said Toole.
“The club has made me feel at home since joining and I’m keen to keep working on my game here in Canberra.
"Both as a club and individually I feel there has been improvement over the past two years, now that next step is hopefully a Super Rugby title.”
Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt admitted last week a Test debut is a matter of when, not if, for the speedster, as he continues his development in the 15-a-side format.
“Corey’s opportunity will come. I had a great meeting with Corey yesterday talking through his game and he’s got a few priorities that he’s working on," Schmidt said before the second Bledisloe Test.
“…Corey hasn’t really had that much experience. He’s come from the Sevens program and had a season with the Brumbies so he’s still learning the 15s game even positionally.
“We’re trying to fast track and he’s very fast so hopefully that will get eaten up quite quickly.”
“Corey’s rapid rise in the game is extremely well deserved and is a credit to the work he puts in each day," Larkham added.
“We are very excited to have extended Corey’s time in the ACT and I have no doubt he will be a strong contributor to further success at the Brumbies in 2025.”
