MY RUGBY LEAGUE JOURNEY: I started at age 13 for Leigh Miners due to watching Leigh Centurions growing up. A year later I started playing rugby union and have played for Lancashire and Sale Sharks Centre of Excellence. I stayed with Miners all up until they got promoted to Super League and played in that grand final. After a year of Super League with Miners, in which time I was selected for the England DiSE pathway and England students, I moved to Wigan after being in the academy there for a year. I played a full year there and then moved to Warrington. Warrington wasn’t the right fit for me, and I’d always wanted to come back to Leigh so towards the back end of last season I moved to the leopards and never looked back.
FORMER CLUBS: Leigh Miners, Wigan Warriors, Warrington Wolves, England DiSE, England Students, Lancashire RU , Liverpool St Helens RU, Sale Sharks centre of excellence RU.
REP HONOURS: England DiSE vs Catalan Sept 2024; England Students Sept 2022.
RUGBY LEAGUE HERO: Fuifui Moimoi.
CAREER HIGHLIGHT: Moving back to Leigh and finding my love for rugby again, and playing in finals like the National Championship one and watching Claire Mullaney score the winning try.
AMBITION: To make an impact and a name for myself at my hometown club Leigh and make my family proud.
