Jake McIntyre

Few players bring Jake McIntyre's particular blend of international pedigree to the USAP number 10 jersey. Born on 28 April 1994, the fly-half is valued for his composure, game management and reliable goal-kicking, all central to the Perpignan side's strategy. His career has taken in representative honours on two continents: he played for Australia at Under-20 level before going on to earn senior international caps for the United States Eagles, experience that lends weight to his decision-making. At US Arlequins Perpignanais he operates as the primary playmaker, directing the attack and providing a steadying influence from fly-half. McIntyre's value lies in control, in his ability to steer a match through the boot, manage territory, and keep an attack ticking rather than in flashy individual moments. For a club competing in the demanding environment of French rugby, that kind of dependable game management at 10 is a genuine asset, and he remains a key figure in how Perpignan shape and pace their attacking play.
