The Munich native has sixteen caps for Germany youth teams including thirteen matches in the U20 Elite League.

Lawrence sported the number 5 on the back of his jersey during his unveiling ceremony on Tuesday, July 2.

WSG finished 11th in the Austrian Bundesliga last season and their first competitive game of 2024-2025 is against SC Imst in the Cup on July 28.
