South African fly-half/fullback Vaughen Isaacs played in Major League Rugby during the 2024 season. He represented the Dallas Jackals for his entire MLR career.

In September 2023 Wasserman, the agency representing the former Springboks u20 player, announced in a (since deleted) Instagram post that Isaacs had signed with Dallas for the 2024 MLR season, joining from the Lions’ Currie Cup side in South Africa. In his debut season in North America, Isaacs scored 3 tries and 32pts in 8 games (all starts) for the Jackals before picking up an injury that ruled him out for a large chunk of the season, including the Jackals’ first every playoff run where they made it to the Western Conference Finals. Despite playing only half a season, Isaacs made a big impact with over 600m gained, and was named to the MLR Team of the Week for Round 4.
