New Zealand born Fly-half/Fullback Rewita Biddle represented Rugby ATL during their final season in Atlanta, in 2023. He currently represents the Toronto Arrows, with whom he is signed through 2025.
Biddle’s signing was announced by ATL in October 2022 on a 3yr contract, relatively long for the fledgling MLR. He joined from Palmyra RFC in Australia having spent 2021-2022 playing with Slava Moscow in Russia. Biddle proved to be a breakout star for Atlanta during his debut MLR season, earning 13 caps and impressing almost immediately with an excellent try during the season-opening Fire and Ice Cup against the Toronto Arrows. In total, he scored 4 tries and 32pts in his debut year, gaining close to 1000m.
On 31st July 2023, just days before Rugby ATL announced that a new onwership group had taken over and the team would be leaving Atlanta for Los Angeles, Rewita Biddle was traded along with promising Australian lock Jordan Brown to the Toronto Arrows in exchange for an International Player slot and Salary Cap Considerations in 2024. Toronto had a good relationship with Rugby ATL having spent the entire 2021 MLR season camped in Georgia, and picked up a number of players from ATL when their relocation was announced.
