I am very proud to lead the 1st XV Academy side on a weekly basis when we play against other schools.' Stephen is currently working towards his A-levels with the aim to go on to study for a degree in Sports Studies at Leeds Trinity and All Saints University.
Paul Goodwin, Director of the Ellesmere College Rugby Academy, added 'with the signing of Stephen by Warrington Wolves Rugby Club, we are all delighted that he is receiving the recognition he deserves. Stephen has always taken his rugby seriously and through his recent 1st Team Captaincy has demonstrated not only his excellent playing skills but also his leadership skills.
