Canadian front row Foster DeWitt played in Major League Rugby between 2022-2025. He represented the New England Free Jacks for his entire MLR career.

a native of Courtenay, British Columbia, DeWitt played rugby with the Comox Valley Kickers while attending G.P Vanier Secondary, before enrolling at the University of British Columbia, representing the UBC Thunderbirds between 2014-2016. He joined the Pacific Pride high performance pathway team in 2020 after playing with Westshore RFC. DeWitt was included in the Canada squad for their 2021 summer tour of the UK but did not feature, and instead made his test debut against Belgium in November 2021.

DeWitt has represented the New England Free Jacks since they began to dominate the Eastern Conference in 2022, and earned 35 MLR appearances (9 starts) across 3 seasons, scoring 1 try per season. He has completed 195 tackles and came off the bench during the 2024 MLR Championship Game, which the Free Jacks won. On November 6th, 2024, the New England Free Jacks announced the return of Foster DeWitt for the 2025 season. DeWitt earned another 11 appearances for the Free Jacks in 2025, taking his career total to 46 games, all for New England. He added 55 tackles to reach an even 250 in his careers, with 3 tries scored on 494m gained in possession. With Major League Rugby considering Canadian players as non-domestic for 2026, the Free Jacks had to shift from their reliance on Canadians, and 3x Champion DeWitt could not return to MLR. Instead, he signed with Uruguayan club Peñarol, the reigning Super Rugby Americas Champions
