Brumbies and Wallabies scrum-half Nic White has ended speculation about his future, signing a one-year extension.
The deal will keep the 31-year-old in Australia until the end of the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
White has been a standout since returning from England, guiding the Brumbies to the 2020 Super Rugby AU title before establishing himself as a regular starter in Dave Rennie's Wallabies side.
With rumours swirling he would once again make the move overseas, White believes he still has plenty to achieve for club and country.
"I’m really happy to be staying at the club and in Australian Rugby," White said in a statement.
"It’s been a long process, but my goal has always been to stay at the Brumbies and to continue to earn the right play for my country.
"The Brumbies is home to me, I love the club and my focus now is fully on the Blues this Saturday and the exciting challenges we have ahead of us.”
It is yet another major boost for the Brumbies and Australian Rugby, having last week re-signed Noah Lolesio on a two year deal.
“Everyone at the Brumbies is excited to have Whitey stay at a club which clearly means a lot to him and his family," Brumbies coach Dan McKellar believes.
“We talk a lot about needing world class players in your team to compete at the top level and Whitey’s in that bracket.
“With his professionalism and dedication, he’s got a lot more to give to the game and he’ll be an important player for the Brumbies for as long as he wears ACT colours.
“Nic’s one of the best halfbacks in the world and to have him recommit to Australian Rugby is a massive positive for the Wallabies and the Brumbies," Wallabies coach Dave Rennie added.
"He has amazing work ethic, has high expectations of himself and demands the same from those around him.
"Whitey's a top man, his competitiveness is infectious and he's playing the house down at the moment."
