HSBC SVNS World Series speedster Perry Baker has made a return to the USA Men's National 7s squad for the upcoming Perth 7s next weekend.

Baker missed out on the first two tournaments for the 2023/2024 World 7s Series in Dubai and Cape Town last month due to injury.

The 37-year-old will be looking to grace the field again with his blistering speed and will also want to make his presence felt after missing the first two tournaments.

The Americans have named a formidable side for this upcoming tournament with the inclusion of some seasoned campaigners and some veterans as well.

The USA squad for the Perth 7s include Aaron Cummins, Joe Schroeder, Kevon Williams, Naima Fuala'au, Malacchi Esdale, Stephen Tomasin, Baker, Lucas Lacamp, Orrin Bizer, Marcus Tupuola, Lance Williams, Madison Hughes and Maka Unufe.

The USA is in Pool B alongside Australia, Ireland and Great Britain.

The Perth 7s will be held from next Friday to Sunday.
