Interested in local oppurtunities to higher honours (pathway to NZ NPC)

Dynamic and versatile forward with experience at NPC Development level, Hong Kong semi-professional rugby, and as a starting loosehead prop for a leading New Zealand Premier club side.

Experienced in all core forward responsibilities, including scrummaging, lineout lifting and jumping, while also offering strong handling skills, game awareness, and effective decision making under pressure.

Recognised for high energy, leadership qualities, discipline, and the ability to influence momentum through physicality and work ethic. Comfortable operating in fast paced environments and contributing across multiple forward roles.

Also experienced in Rugby Sevens as both prop and winger, utilising size, power, speed, and fitness to create mismatches in open play. Strong in one on one situations with the agility and decision making required for the Sevens game.
