Early life and career

Jake McIntyre was born in Alstonville in northern New South Wales. He was selected for the Australian Schoolboys rugby team in 2011 and 2012.[3] McIntyre joined Queensland club side Sunnybank and his performances in the Queensland Premier Rugby competition led to his selection in the Australia Under-20 team to play at the 2013 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in France and the 2014 World Rugby Under 20 Championship in New Zealand.[3]

Rugby career

McIntyre was the starting fly-half for the Brisbane City team which won the inaugural season of the National Rugby Championship (NRC) in 2014.[2][3] He signed an Elite Development Squad contract with the Queensland Reds for 2015, but sat out the early part of the season after off-season knee surgery.[4]

He made his Super Rugby debut against the Melbourne Rebels as the starting fly-half for the Reds on 15 May 2015, scoring a try in a dominant win at Suncorp Stadium.[3][4] He went on to gain two further Super Rugby caps in his first season.

After two seasons with Agen as their leading point scorer,[5] McIntyre joined French giant ASM Clermont Auvergne on a two year deal.[6] In their season opener and his debut, Jake scored 8 points and had two try assists in Clermont's 28-10 win over La Rochelle.[7]

On 6 November 2020, McIntyre left Clermont to return to Australia with Western Force in the upcoming Super Rugby seasons on a two-year deal.[8]
