Lucas Rumball

The Hounds agreed to terms with Lucas Rumball on December 20, 2023. On October 21, 2024, the club announced a contract extension with the captain of the Canadian national team.

Rumball signed with the Hounds after playing his first five seasons with the Toronto Arrows. During the 2024 season, he combined with Maclean Jones to make one of the best openside flanker tandems in the league.

Rumball started in the Hounds’ week one win over the Miami Sharks and appeared in 12 total contests on the season. The versatile back row player registered 628 minutes and five starts.

Over the course of his career, Rumball has been one of the most reliable defenders in the league. It was no different in 2024, as the flanker completed a staggering 110 of his 116 tackle attempts (95%).

Additionally, Rumball has been one of the best breakdown merchants in the league over the course of his career, accumulating 54 breakdown steals.

Rumball earned First-Team All-Pro honors after a dominant 2021 season. He finished the year with 19 breakdown steals and 228 tackles, both career highs. In addition to his Major League Rugby accolades, Rumball is the captain of the Canadian National team. With over 40 caps, he is one of the most accomplished players in their squad.
