Sam arrives at Manor Fields with an impressive rugby pedigree, having previously been part of the Northampton Saints Academy setup and representing Italy Under-18s in the Six Nations Championship.

A powerful and versatile forward, Sam is equally comfortable at hooker or in the back row, bringing physicality, work rate and a strong presence around the field. His experience in elite age-grade rugby will add further quality and competition to the squad as preparations continue for the new season.

As we continue building towards the 2026/27 campaign, Sam becomes another exciting addition to the maroon and white and we look forward to seeing him make his mark at Bletchley RUFC.
