Since then, he has been a key member of the team and played his best game against New Zealand’s All Blacks on 15 November 2025.
NORTHAMPTON SAINTS

At Bedford Blues, he learnt a lot and developed his skills, playing five games in the 2023-2024 season. He later returned to Northampton and continued his development, making a big name for himself within the team.

He then spices it with his unique celebrations, sometimes with his teeth out, showing aggression.
However, his recent celebrations against the All Blacks, holding his chin, had been making trends across social networks.
