Interests
My main interest is playing rugby,
I began playing for Dunfermline RFC from early years of primary school all they way up to senior rugby where i solidified a position in the 1XV for back to back seasons - proudly contributed to the team's achievement of securing promotion to the Scottish National Leagues after a fifteen-year hiatus. Currently, I am an active player with Orkney RFC 1XV who is having notable success in the Scottish National Leagues. Reflecting on my rugby career, one of the significant highlights was representing my club at a higher regional level, Caledonia.
