MY RUGBY JOURNEY 🏉
From St Helens to Hunslet, Leeds Rhinos and Wakefield Trinity — every club played a part in my journey.
At Saints, I won Academy Player of the Year and Man of the Match in the Academy Grand Final. I was also a member of the first-team squad, although I didn’t make a first-team appearance.
I then moved to Hunslet, making 84 appearances and scoring 13 tries. I picked up Player of the Year, Players’ Player and Coaches’ Player awards before earning a move to Leeds Rhinos.
Three weeks into my first Leeds pre-season, I ruptured my Achilles. Six months of rehab followed, then in my first game back, I ruptured my bicep. Another six months out.
Scoring my first try for Leeds was a moment I’ll always remember.
I then moved to Wakefield, playing Super League, reaching a Challenge Cup semi-final and being part of the Million Pound Game win against Bradford.
My last professional game was against St Helens in September 2016, against the club where it all started.
Rugby gave me brilliant memories, friendships and opportunities. It also taught me about hard work, patience and keeping going through setbacks.
Everything I learnt throughout my rugby career has helped shape my career as a personal trainer, which I’ve now been doing for 10 years. From training and preparing your body to rebuilding after injury, staying consistent and understanding when to push or take a step back — those experiences help me get the best out of my clients today.
