rugby league with the
Leichhardt Juniors club. He 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 Rugby World Cup, but was ruled out of the tournament after fracturing his fibula in training, without playing a match. Early in the
2024 Super Rugby season, Jorgensen re-signed with the Waratahs until the end of 2026. The deal also allows Jorgensen to take sabbatical seasons overseas in 2028 and 2030.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the deal came at a time of heightened interest from
National Rugby League (NRL) clubs, particularly the
Sydney Roosters. The contract was reported to be around 900k per season. Commenting on the new contract extension, Jorgensen told
The Sydney Morning Herald: "I said to my manager, I want to stay. This is where my heart lies and this is where I want to play. It was mainly that I was loving it here and being a part of the Tahs and the Wallabies and I really wanted to stay. I didn't really have any interest going anywhere else. We weren't keeping that a secret or anything. That was pretty much the conversation that were happening over the last six or so months since [negotiations] started, that I wanted to stay." ==International career==
