Webster was named an All-MLR Honorable Mention for his performance during the 2025 season.

Following Major League Rugby’s contraction to 6 teams and shift to focus on US talent rather than North American, Brock Webster suddenly became classified as an International Player along with all other Canadians. As a result, the Canadian-heavy New England Free Jacks needed to adjust their approach and bring in more US talent, leaving some Canadians out in the dark. A player of Webster’s calibre was bound to be snapped up however, and on 2nd December 2025, the Chicago Hounds announced his signing for the 2026 campaign, joining fellow national team members Mason Flesch, and Captain Lucas Rumball.
