Rowland, 23, is returning to the Arrows for a fourth campaign after featuring in 29 matches (11 starts) for the club since his debut in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

The six-foot-one, 270-pound forward has produced 409 carry metres on 80 carries, 120 tackles (87.6% completion), 285 ruck arrivals, six tackle breaks, one breakdown steal and one try over his first three seasons with the club.

The native of Mississauga, Ont. has earned nine caps for Canada since making his international debut against Wales in July 2021. He also represented Canada at two World Rugby Under-20 Trophy tournaments, first as an under-ager in 2018, and again in 2019.

Arrow #46 is an alumnus of the Ontario Blues junior men’s provincial program and Rugby Canada’s Pacific Pride national development academy program, and played his grassroots rugby with the Toronto Nomads (Ontario) and the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds (British Columbia).
