Rugby Academy Students Train with James Hadfield

Premiership rugby player James Hadfield visited BHASVIC on Wednesday to support a coaching session with our Rugby Academy students and take part in a Q&A.

He shared insights into professional sport, training routines, and his own sports journey, giving students a valuable opportunity to learn directly from an active elite‑level player.

Hadfield, who currently plays for Saracens, grew up in Sussex and began his rugby journey at Hove RFC as a youth player. He later moved to Brighton Blues before making his first appearance in adult Rugby for Shoreham RFC. From there, he progressed to Worthing Raiders, turned professional with Jersey Reds, and now competes at the top tier of English rugby with Saracens.
