Years played

I am an old soul been playing for 20+ years, Started at rugby league and then discovered rugby union and never looked back.

Why I joined the magpies.

I joined the team by invite from Craig Serbert-Smith to get me out the house and involved with the magpies, He invited me up to help as he thought it would benefit me as I have PTSD and i’ve never looked back.

Favourite moment in rugby.

It’s when the team get told we are playing a certain team the buzz. energy levels go up a couple of levels. And the smiles wow every thing ramps up in training and then when game day comes its amazing.

Who inspires you in the game.

The ENTIRE team does, No matter what the disability is they do not let it get in the way.
The effort they put into training and into games is amazing i’ve been In the magpies set up now for 4 years and to see them grow individually is something to behold.

Truly amazing.

Massive 18th to our smallest yet our most passionate player Arron.
