Is Parata a Western Force player???

Yeah, they picked him up at the start of the year:

Force bring young star home from NZ

Western Force have snared former WA schoolboy star Campbell Parata from New Zealand heavyweight Crusaders for the new Super Rugby Pacific season.

Might be getting a bit of game time in 2023 with Pasitoa's injury too.

Is Parata a Western Force player???

He was for the 2022 Super Rugby season.
Current status as obscure as other unannounced 2022 squad members.
Attended WF training during the year and played a number of games with Wanneroo.
Did not get a cap during the Super Rugby season.
Evidently Simon Cron arriving shortly.
I'm hoping that more 2023 squad announcements may follow.
Watch this space.

Word was he was looking for more time at 10, with Pasitoa injured he might be the starter next year.

Queensland Reds centre Hamish Stewart set to join Western Force

The Western Force have signed one of the Queensland Reds' most consistent performers for next season.

Wide World of Sports can reveal centre Hamish Stewart will join his former Australian under-20s coach, Simon Cron, in the west on a two-year deal.

The move comes just four weeks after former Reds teammate Alex Mafi said that Stewart would be joining him at the Melbourne Rebels next season.

Interesting note in article:

It's believed bosses at Ballymore blocked Stewart from joining the Rebels, but when an offer came from the Force to head to Perth, Queensland obliged.

 

[RugbyReg]

Sounds like Twiggy was happy to pay a transfer fee.

Plus with Fortescue making big plays in Qld it’s not a bad idea keeping a future potential sponsor happy.

 

[todd4]

That's a great signing. I really rate Stewart.

 

[The_Brown_Hornet]

That's an excellent signing

 

[Slim 293]

I assume the Force will be going with 10. Kuenzle 12. Stewart next year with Pasitoa out...

 

[Tazzmania]

Confirmed Hamish Stewart for two years
