The 24 year-old has been on the radar for a while now, but the fact his club is on the Super Rugby chopping block has seen him make a move to Japan later this year looking for improvement.
With a Chilean born father and a New Zealand mother of Cook Island heritage, the thought of travelling in order to pursue his dream holds no fear for Debreczeni.
Jack Debreczeni was born in New Zealand before his family relocated to Sydney before he'd turned two.
It's a tale his family knows well.
His grandfather moved from Hungary to Chile after the Second World War.
It was there his father, Michael, was born before the Debreczeni family moved to Sydney.
He met his mother, Diane, in Sydney before the lure of New Zealand, where she was born with Cook Island heritage, proved too strong.
In the nearly five years the family was there, Jack and his sister were born before the family returned to Sydney.
Michael Debreczeni played rugby for West Harbour, and from his earliest memory Jack would spend hours at the club watching his father train and play.
The seeds of a love affair with the sport were sown.
Now 24, Jack Debreczeni has reached Super Rugby level with the Melbourne Rebels, and says he's grateful for all the sport has given him.
"With Rugby being a world game there's always the possibility and the opportunities if you're good enough and if things line up that you can travel the world and see amazing places but at the same time play the game that you love."
The current crisis in Australian Rugby will see one of either the Melbourne Rebels or the Western Force being cut next season.
But that wasn't the only reason why Debreczeni decided to pursue a move to Japan later this year in the second tier competition.
A move overseas was always in his plan.
"I've always wanted to go overseas with rugby so that wasn't a sole factor to why I left. But definitely there's players at the club with uncertainty, with young families, that don't know what lies ahead in the years to come."
His father, Michael, believes his cultural mix and all the travelling he's done will help him tranisition to life overseas.
"He's a very adaptable young man. Living in New Zealand and here in Australia and also travelling to South America to see the family in Chile and watching him adjust there while we were there for that month and a half, and to the Cook Islands as well so you know he sort of breeds into his environment I suppose, that's the good thing about Jack."
And Debreczeni junior is hoping that the career detour to Japan will ultimately help him fulfill his dream of one day wearing a Wallabies jersey.
"I don't think I'm finished with Super Rugby there's still a lot of challenges that I want to overcome in Super Rugby and I guess the goal is to hopefully one day if I'm good enough to put on the green and gold jersey."
