Career

A New South Wales Waratahs academy product and schoolboy representative, Jorgensen reportedly turned down an offer from National Rugby League (NRL) club Sydney Roosters. After being brought into the senior squad for the 2023 Super Rugby season, Jorgensen was named as a starter for the Waratahs in their first round match against the ACT Brumbies. Playing the full match, Jorgensen scored two tries, although the Waratahs lost 25–31. The following week Jorgensen scored another try in a win against the Fijian Drua. In April 2023, he was named by Eddie Jones in a Wallabies training squad. He was selected in the Australia squad for the 2023 World Cup, but was ruled out of the tournament after fracturing his fibula in training, without playing a match.
