Personal Overview

Why give me your opportunity? You will get 100+% commitment on and off the pitch.

I have been playing and loving everything rugby since I could pick up a ball. Then at the age of 14 I found my second love, American Football and gained a scholarship to the USA whilst there I realised my dream to play QB in the NFL was a leap too far and I returned to my first love and dream to play Rugby Union professionally. I have captained the Santa Barbara Rugby Academy USA 1st Team and I chose to stay in the USA rather than return home during the Covid crisis to further my sporting career. I suceeded as I was asked to join the Los Angeles Giltinis Development Team. My time in the USA has come to an end as did the Giltinis and I  am open to offers to continue to advance my playing career. 

I have also gained USA Rugby Level 100 Coaching/Refereeing qualifications. BTEC Level 3 in Sport. Coached Santa Barbara Academy and Westmont College Players 2021/2. I am a CIMSPA Level 3 Gym Instructor and Personal Trainer.

I am the key that unlock’s my team’s potential. I am mentally tough and coachable. I am a good communicator with the forwards and backs.

I am a good defender and can tackle well. I am a good attacker and can make a break. I have good handling and passing skills and can kick with both feet.

I can penetrate opposition defences and have a high level of agility and speed. I can read the game very well and have vision.

I am unselfish, enjoy the pressure, am passionate, dedicated, reliable with a winning attitude and a wonderful sense of humour and team spirit.
