Joshua Flook (born 22 September 2001) is an Australian professional rugby union player who plays as a centre for the Queensland Reds in the Super Rugby and the Australia national team.
Reds
Flook was named in the Reds squad in the first round of the 2020 Super Rugby AU season.[1] He made his debut for the Reds in the second round of the season against the Rebels,[2][3] coming on as a replacement for left wing Filipo Daugunu in the 73rd minute.[4] The game result finished 18-all after extra-time at Brookvale Oval.[5]
In 2021, Flook played seven matches for the Reds across their 2021 Super Rugby AU and Trans-Tasman seasons,[6] including the Super Rugby AU Grand Final which saw the Reds win 19–16 in Brisbane.[7] It was their first Super Rugby-related title since 2011.
Benetton
It was reported by The Australian on 10 March 2026 that Flook had signed with Italian club Benetton in the United Rugby Championship (URC).[8] It was confirmed a week later that Flook would be moving at the end of the season on a one-year deal with an option to extend it for another year.[9] Flook had previously been one of four players that joined Benetton on a Reds–Benetton player loan deal for their 2025–26 season.[10][11] However, Flook was later called-up to the national squad and was ruled out of playing for Benetton.[12] Upon his transfer, Flook stated to ABC News: "Talking to some people, the feedback I got was that I wasn't really sure how I'd match up against the Scottish and South African centres, if I was to go up against them. So I thought, 'Why not go and test myself in that [United Rugby Championship] competition and prove to myself and others that I might be a little bit smaller but can put up a hell of a fight?"[13]
