Early life and junior rugby
Frost was born in 1999 in Sydney in the Australian state of New South Wales.[7] He began his junior rugby at the Hornsby Lions[7] in Sydney before playing at Knox Grammar School.[8] While at Knox Grammar School, Frost, in his final year of school,[9] was selected in the 2017 Australian Schoolboys team. He made two appearances, starting against both Fijian Schools and New Zealand Schoolboys.[10]
In October 2017 it was reported by Fox Sports Australia that Frost had rejected interest by Australian Super Rugby team, the New South Wales Waratahs, to sign a three-year development contract with the Crusaders in New Zealand.[11] Frost, who was 18 years and 3 days old, became the youngest Australian to be signed to the Crusaders.[11] Frost was also reportedly sought after by various Australian Football League (AFL) clubs.[11]
Career
ACT Brumbies
In early 2019, after spending over 12 months with the Crusaders Academy, Frost was acquired by the ACT Brumbies on a three-year deal.[12][13] Although he didn't play a Super Rugby match throughout the year, he made nine appearances for the Canberra Vikings in the 2019 National Rugby Championship (NRC).
Frost made his debut for the Brumbies in February 2020 and went on to a total of eight appearances that year. He continued to be a mainstay in the Brumbies in the subsequent years, making 42 more appearances in the 2021–2023 Super Rugby seasons.[14] Highlights include a two-try night against the Hurricanes in 2023.[15]
