Bayley Kuenzle

Talented back Kuenzle is an exciting athlete, who comes in at 186cm and offers versatility to play a range of roles. He’s overcome a run of injuries over the past 18 months after a breakout 2024 campaign, where he finished runner-up in the Nathan Sharpe medal and earned a Wallabies wider squad call-up, before suffering an untimely long-term knee injury. Cronulla-born Kuenzle was schooled at Newington College in Sydney, before moving to Canberra and playing for the Brumbies. After a taste of Australia A, with Wallabies’ ambitions in his mind, he switched to the Force at the end of 2021 and has since finished runner-up in the 2022 and 2024 Nathan Sharpe medals. He’s a cricket fan who plays the drums, is learning guitar, studies construction management and has Swiss heritage from his dad’s father.
