Team

The Hounds announced Fletcher’s signing on December 19, 2024.

Fletcher, 25 years old, began climbing the ranks of Australian rugby back in 2016, when he captained both the Capricornia Schools Under-17s program and the Central Queensland Bushrangers U17 team. Impressive performances with those two teams led to more representative opportunities for the prop, who earned selection to the Queensland Junior Gold U17 team.

In 2017, Fletcher joined the Western Force academy system and immediately became a leader in the clubhouse. He was named the Force’s U20 captain and U19 co-captain. His continued ascension earned him a spot in the Australian U20 Player of National Interest pool.

From 2020 through 2022, Fletcher signed with Souths Rugby Club. Both Chris Latham, Chicago Hounds’ Head Coach, and Todd Dammers, Hounds’ Forward Coach, both have longstanding ties to the club. He was named MVP and the Queensland Premier League’s most valuable player.

Prior to the 2023 season, Fletcher joined Brothers Rugby Club, making an immediate impact upon his arrival. The prop helped lead Brothers to back-to-back Hospital Cup Championships in 2023 and 2024. This was the first team to win consecutive titles since the Canberra Vikings accomplished the feat between 2001-2003.
