Personal Overview

I am a mobile Front Row player, i can play 1, 2 and 3 but I have found comfort in the Hooker posiotion but a still dominant prop. Momentum gaining forward and a great linking player with great skills. Take great pride in my set peace ability, accurate lineout platform. With a tough defensive presense and competitive at the breakdown. 

My years in a professional rugby setup have built a passion for the development of this beautiful game. I am not only qualified in this field but have a great passion to grow the game overseas. I wish to share my experiences to also give back to the game that has given so much.

Was currently awaiting the start of the Curry Cup season which has been put on hold. I see this as an opportunity to grow my craft and gain a cultural exchange whilst also contibuting to Clubs goals and hopefully win some trophies.
