Rob also Captained Edge Hill University Men’s 1st XV, during his time as a student. Before heading off to University, Rob played his rugby at Fleetwood. He started playing the game relatively late, when he joined Fleetwood Colts at 16.

Dan Orwin said; ‘Rob is a great addition to the 1st Team squad. Having played with Rob, I have witnessed first-hand the physicality and work-rate that he brings to every performance. He is a great personality and has always kept himself in very good physical condition. He has already completed several training sessions with us, and his work-rate and intensity is helping to drive our standards. Rob is a great role model for any young player at the club and it’s good to welcome him back!'
