Toronto Arrows Comments
“Rewita and Jordan are two young, dynamic players who we’re excited to be adding to our club,” said Tim Matthews, Toronto Arrows Vice President and General Manager. “With the way we’re looking to assemble our roster in 2024 and beyond, this international duo will fit in quite well in terms of complementing our core domestic players and filling key positional needs.”
Jordan is an imposing, hard-running lock who at 22 years of age is a talent on the rise. He adds size and grit to our pack and inserts an extra dimension to our set piece.”
