About Yourself:

I played rugby league at professional level for 11 years before retiring through injury. I was then involved in the coaching & development programme of Wakefield Trinity schools.

From there , I turned to rugby union with my local club , Morley RFC. I was heavily involved in the coaching set up & with over 18 years service, we gained promotion to the National leagues & we managed to get to the Intermediate Cup Final at Twickenham, 2 years running. I worked my way up to become Director of Rugby. I have been at the University of Leeds for the past five years as a coach before taking over as Head of Rugby. What I enjoy most about the club is that every day is a challenge. We are constantly driving the players to get the most out of their time here at the University, whether it be on the playing field or in the lecture theatre.
