WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Rugby World

|

October 2025

I FINISHED I was in the final year of a three-year contract at Gloucester and had already decided to retire at the end of that season.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

In December I dislocated my shoulder in an A game and the surgeon couldn't fit me in immediately; I knew there would be four months' rehab, so I couldn't see the point.

I'd have liked to have been able to bow out at Kingsholm, but it gave me three or four months being paid as a player and a soft landing into transitioning into my next career.
