A surprise selection, open-side flanker Croft played all four Tests for the Wallabies in their 2002 end of season tour against Argentina, Ireland, England and Italy, but has played no part this year.
A former centre, Croft has good mobility and a good work-rate, and picked up the 2001 Australian Super 12 Rookie of the Year award.
A former A team skipper and U19, U21 and Sevens representative, Croft was chosen as 23rd man in Australia's opening Test of the season against Wales, but missed out to uncapped Queensland team-mate Daniel Heenan.
Started every Super 12 game for the Reds this season as his team finished a disappointing eighth on the ladder.
Yet to score a try in either Super 12 or Test rugby.
