Joshua Flook (born 22 September 2001) is an Australian professional rugby union player who plays as a centre for the Queensland Reds in the Super Rugby and the Australia national team.

Background and early career

[edit]

Flook was born in Sydney, New South Wales, before relocating to Brisbane, Queensland, where he was raised.[1]

Professional career

[edit]

Reds

[edit]

Flook was named in the Reds squad in the first round of the 2020 Super Rugby AU season.[2] He made his debut for the Reds in the second round of the season against the Rebels,[3][4] coming on as a replacement for left wing Filipo Daugunu in the 73rd minute.[5] The game result finished 18-all after extra-time at Brookvale Oval.[6]

In 2021, Flook played seven matches for the Reds across their 2021 Super Rugby AU and Trans-Tasman seasons,[7] including the Super Rugby AU Grand Final which saw the Reds win 19–16 in Brisbane.[8] It was their first Super Rugby-related title since 2011.

Benetton

[edit]

It was reported by The Australian on 10 March 2026 that Flook had signed with Italian club Benetton in the United Rugby Championship (URC).[9] It was confirmed a week later that Flook would be moving at the end of the season on a one-year deal with an option to extend it for another year.[10] Flook had previously been one of four players that joined Benetton on a Reds–Benetton player loan deal for their 2025–26 season.[11][12] However, Flook was later called-up to the national squad and was ruled out of playing for Benetton.[13] Upon his transfer, Flook stated to ABC News: "Talking to some people, the feedback I got was that I wasn't really sure how I'd match up against the Scottish and South African centres, if I was to go up against them. So I thought, 'Why not go and test myself in that [United Rugby Championship] competition and prove to myself and others that I might be a little bit smaller but can put up a hell of a fight?"[14]

International career

[edit]

In July 2023, ahead of Australia A's two 2023 Rugby World Cup warm-up matches, Flook was named in a 25-player squad.[15] Leading into the series, Flook had started in thirteen of the Reds' fifteen Super Rugby matches for the 2023 season.[7] Flook scored his first senior international try for Australia A against Tonga in a 27–21 loss at Teufaiva Sport Stadium, Nukuʻalofa.[16] Flook played in the team's other match against Portugal. Australia A won 17–30 in Massy, France.[17]

Flook made his Test debut for Australia against Wales on 6 July 2024 at the Sydney Football Stadium.[18] Flook was one of six Wallaby debutants to play in the match the first of two on Wales' 2024 tour of Australia.[19] Flook started again in the following Test.[7] Australia won both matches and whitewashed the series,[20] the first inbound whitewash tour since France in 2014. Flook later made his first appearance in the Rugby Championship in September against Argentina.[7] Flook came off the bench in the 66th minute. Australia lost 67–27, their worst defeat against them.[21] Since 2025 Flook has made just three appearances for the Wallabies.[7]
