Australian rugby sevens star Teagan Levi will return to her hometown to play for the Gold Coast Titans in the 2026 NRLW season, following her commitments with Rugby Australia.
Levi, a former student at Miami State High School, began her professional career with the Gold Coast Suns in the AFLW. She has spent six years as a key member of the Australian rugby sevens squad.
"I want to test myself and keep growing as a person and a player, and this opportunity allows me to step out of my comfort zone."
Levi confirmed the switch has long been on her mind, but she wanted to ensure she could give her full focus to the new challenge. "Making the switch to league has always been on my mind. But I wanted to make sure I was able to be all-in and giving 100 per cent to Murph (Titans coach Karyn Murphy) and the rest of my Titans teammates," she said in a Titans statement.
Titans coach Karyn Murphy described the signing as a major win.
"It's a huge coup to have Teagan return to her hometown and join us for the 2026 season."
Murphy highlighted Levi’s world-stage experience as a key asset for the team. "She's been on the world stage wearing the green and gold in significant tournaments the past few years and her big-game experience and exposure to high-performance environments will be valuable for our upcoming campaign. I'm looking forward to working with her in the preseason ahead of round one," Murphy said.
Levi and her sister Maddison are prominent figures in the Australian rugby sevens program. The Titans finished ninth in the 12-team NRLW premiership last season. The 2026 NRLW season begins on July 2.
