Accomplishments

I played in the Gloucester rugby academy from the ages 13-18. It was a highly intense, competitive and ruthless environment. Unfortunately, I missed out on a professional contract by a week. But over many years in this set up I have learned great experiences, teaching cunning and resilience in hostile conditions; with lots of fond memories.
