Getting to know me

I started playing rugby in 2005 at North Hykeham, also representing NLD and Midlands, then finished my U18s at Paviors. I joined Nottingham Corsairs/West Bridgford as the start of my senior rugby, moving to Lichfield in 2020. In 2017 I started my international rugby with Philippines in both 7s and 15s. Fun fact, I am also a violinist.
