Tim Anstee
6' 3" | 238 lbs | Australia
Anstee has spent the past four seasons with the Western Force in Super Rugby, making the switch to XVs after his first professional contract in the Sevens program.
Anstee played 45 games over his time with the Force, winning the Nathan Sharpe Medal as the team’s best player in 2022, just his second season in Super Rugby.
He is a familiar face to the LA coaching staff, coached by director of rugby Stephen Hoiles while in the Sevens program and working with assistant coach Dave Dennis in Australia’s Shute Shield.
It was in his most recent time with Shute Shield club Eastwood that Anstee caught the eye of LA assistant coach Dave Dennis as a potential recruit.
His Sevens pedigree is clear in XVs, with the powerful forward possessing mobility that betrays his size, and he will be well equipped for his MLR debut in 2025.
