Max Jorgensen 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. He is the son of former rugby union and rugby league player Peter Jorgensen.
Career
A New South Wales Waratahs academy product and schoolboy representative, Jorgensen reportedly turned down an offer from National Rugby League (NRL) club Sydney Roosters.[4][5]
After being brought into the senior squad for the 2023 Super Rugby season,[6] Jorgensen was named as a starter for the Waratahs in their first round match against the ACT Brumbies.[7] Playing the full match, Jorgensen scored two tries, although the Waratahs lost 25–31.[8][9] The following week Jorgensen scored another try in a win against the Fijian Drua.[citation needed]
In April 2023, he was named by Eddie Jones in a Wallabies training squad.[10] He was selected in the Australia squad for the 2023 World Cup, but was ruled out of the tournament after fracturing his fibula in training, without playing a match.[11][citation needed]

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.
