Max Jorgensen (born 2 September 2004) is an Australian professional rugby union player who plays either on the wing or at fullback for Australian Super Rugby team the New South Wales Waratahs.
A New South Wales Waratahs academy product and schoolboy representative, Jorgensen reportedly turned down an offer from National Rugby League (NRL) club Sydney Roosters.[7][8]
After being brought into the senior squad for the 2023 Super Rugby season,[9] Jorgensen was named as a starter for the Waratahs in their first round match against the ACT Brumbies.[10] Playing the full match, Jorgensen scored two tries, although the Waratahs lost 25–31.[11][12] The following week Jorgensen scored another try in a win against the Fijian Drua.
In April 2023, he was named by Eddie Jones in a Wallabies training squad.[13] He was selected in the Australia squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup, but was ruled out of the tournament after fracturing his fibula in training, without playing a match.[14]
Born in England to an Australian parent, Jorgensen is eligible to represent Australia or England. Jorgensen holds a British passport.[6] Jorgensen also has Russian ancestry via his father Peter.[15]
^Payten, Iain (22 February 2023). "The son rises: Waratahs name teenage star Jorgensen to debut against Brumbies". The Sydney Morning Herald. Retrieved 1 March 2023. Max grew up playing both codes and was the subject of a fierce cross-code tussle while still at St Josephs' College, with Roosters coach Trent Robinson personally wooing the outside back. But Rugby Australia won the battle and after fast-tracking him into the senior squad, Jorgensen's class immediately shone, according to Waratahs backs coach Chris Whitaker.
