nick My first ever game was against Medway RFU, who weirdly I also now play for after joining them in 2020 and playing for the U13s. I am now playing for both Dartford U15s and Medway U15s, although it’s a year earlier then it would normally be as I am still only 13.
I am a forward, my favourite position is Flanker, but I also play as a Hooker.
My new season starts next Sunday (12th September) and I am looking forward to representing both Dartford and Medway.
I currently train 5 days a week, Medway Tuesday and Sunday, Dartford Thursday and Sunday. I swim for an hour every Wednesday and do sprint training every Saturday with my dad. He is a professional boxing trainer, so as you can imagine he pushes me quite hard. I do 10 x 70m hill sprints, which I often let it show that I don’t enjoy but I know he is doing it to better me as a player and I have improved my time by almost 3 seconds in 4 months which I’m very happy about.
I am known for my hard tackling and running through people but my passing and game awareness is improving all the time.
I collect rugby tops and try and wear a different one to each training session. I have 34 tops now and my collection is growing all the time!
My current ambition is to have a great season for Dartford and Medway and hopefully have the Kent trials in January (a year early). My coach from Dartford, Luke Sticklings is really pushing me ,which I really appreciate.
His daughter Siena is a couple of years older than me and is on the England path of excellence, a journey that I would also love to follow.
I want to be a vet when I leave school and am studying very hard to make this a reality. I also hope to play professional rugby for England and one day when they are formed the British and Irish Lions.
