STATEMENT
‘‘Having risen through the ranks at Aylesbury Rugby club I progressed into professional rugby, playing and then coaching at the elite level. I won two Premiership winners’ medals and six England Saxon Caps. I then guided two high profile Championship clubs into Top 4 league positions as a coach and I continue to coach professionally today.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my journey in rugby to date and I often refer back to the values instilled in me as a developing player, such as commitment, honesty and resilience. I also focus fondly on the relationships I forged and the enjoyment I experienced from being part of a team. Although, in order to fulfill my rugby ambitions, I had to make sacrifices in relation to my further and higher education and subsequent potential career choices. Therefore I am very excited with the opportunity to support the academy’s integrated approach to enabling our students to continue their rugby development in combination with their further education”[/col2]
