"I’m incredibly proud to have been selected for the Harlequins U16 Academy.

This opportunity means a great deal to me, and I’m very grateful for the support I’ve received from both my school and club throughout my development. At school, the new gym facilities designed specifically for young athletes have played a key role in my physical preparation. I’ve also benefited from a wide range of additional training sessions and fixtures, including those held during the off-season. I’d especially like to thank our new rugby coach, Mr Tiffin, whose support has been outstanding. He has helped me recover from injuries, provided opportunities to perform in front of Harlequins coaches, and continues to drive improvements in the school’s sporting environment.

I’m extremely grateful for the opportunities and support I’ve received, and I’m excited to continue developing through the Harlequins player pathway."
