Queensland Reds co-captain Liam Wright has re-signed with the club until the end of 2024.
However, the deal will see the 24-year-old free to play overseas in the off-season should he miss out on Wallabies selection.

Wright has played five Tests for the Wallabies since making his Reds debut in 2018, last featuring in 2020 against Argentina.
"Liam's an important part of the Queensland Reds, his instinct has always been to put the club first," Reds GM of Rugby Sam Cordingley said in a statement.
"Whilst his focus is very much on Queensland and national selection, Liam has earned the flexibility to explore playing opportunities abroad within this contract term.
"It's great news for the Reds to have Liam committed to our 2023 and 2024 seasons."
Wright has established himself as one of the key leaders in the Reds set-up, leading them to the Super Rugby AU title in 2021 alongside James O'Connor.
He retained the co-captaincy in 2022 before injury limited the backrower to just five games.
“I am very proud to be re-signing with the Reds for the next two seasons," Wright said.
“The thrill and honour of wearing the Queensland jersey drives me immensely, and injuries over the past two seasons have only made that desire grow.
“I am looking forward to continuing the journey we as players, staff and Queenslanders have undertaken to improve this great club.
“I would like to thank our supporters, Brad, Sam and all the Reds for their support. I’m excited for what’s ahead.”
