Personal Overview

 Email: Gregory_bannister@hotmail.com

I am a 23 year old rugby player looking to travel the world but while playing rugby at the same time. I would consider myself a team player that gives 100% in every game I play. I am very ambitious, trying to reach self-made goals each and every time I step onto the field. In addition to this, I'm not scared to learn new things and be put outside my comfort zone. In addition to this I always play heads up rugby,by trying to find the space or pick the weak man or the mismatch in the opponents defensive line . I am someone who loves to run with the ball in hand trying the beat players with footwork and speed. I believe I know my way to the try line and also am a finisher. I started playing rugby at Westcliff Rugby club were I managed to work up through the club and made 50+ appearances for the 1stXV in National 3. Within the last 3 years I have completed a season in the Gold Coast competition where I was voted player of the Year for the competition and was top points scorer for the season. In addition to this I completed in New Zealand playing in the Bay of plenty Premier competition. I managed to adapted to the New Zealand playing style very quickly, which led me to score 10 tries in the opening 10 games. This helped me to be the top try scorer in the Bay of plenty premier competition. After the club season had concluded I was selected for the Bay of Plenty steamers 2nd XV Squad. Most recent of all time I have just completed a season in the Netherlands playing in top division. I managed to help my team finish 4th in the country and on the way beating the newly crowned champions. Furthermore I found myself being a leader of the team, if it was in the game or at training but this was something I adapted to and did enjoy.
