About

I am currently playing Premier club and first-class representative rugby in the Thames Valley region of New Zealand. In 2021 I earned my first, first-class cap for the Thames Valley Swamp foxes playing in the national provincial championship where we went on to be runners up in the Meads Cup. I am a specialist loose forward and can play 6, 7 or 8 with my preference being openside flanker. I have played with or against quality players as many of them have been provincial, Super rugby and international capped players. I have a bachelor's degree in Business and also have a large amount of experience as a Carpenter outside of rugby.
