The Western Force thanks departing players Ryan Coxon, Tom Horton, Atu Moli, Reesjan Pasitoa, Matt Proctor and Sio Tomkinson for their service to the Club.
The departure of the sextet comes after Saturday’s tour game against the British and Irish Lions following the conclusion of the 2025 Super Rugby Pacific season.
The Club acknowledges their contributions and service, wishing them all well for the future. They are forever Force.
Coxon, 27, spent two seasons with the Force, joining the Club in the 2024 season on an injury cover contract. The affable loosehead prop played 19 Super Rugby games for the Force.
Horton joined the Force prior to the 2023 season and started every game in the 2024 season. The tough 28-year-old hooker played 34 Super Rugby games for the Force across three campaigns.
Former All Blacks front-rower Moli, 30, spent two years at the Force, overcoming a significant hip injury in his first season to play 10 games off the bench in the 2025 Super Rugby season.
Homegrown utility back Pasitoa joined the Force in 2022 after a stint with the ACT Brumbies. He played 20 Super Rugby games for the Force, having missed the 2023 and 2024 seasons due to significant injuries before making a return in 2025. The Club have released him early at his request in order to play NPC in New Zealand.
One-cap All Blacks midfielder Proctor joined the Force prior to the 2025 Super Rugby season but missed the whole campaign with a shoulder injury, before running out in Force blue for the first time in Saturday’s Lions game.
Tomkinson also joined the Force prior to the 2025 Super Rugby season. The 29-year-old New Zealand-born midfielder played 10 games, all starts, and scored one try.
