“There is a very professional environment at Hartpury. The rugby is built around a winning culture and that really helped with the transition from university to professional sport. I’ve had an incredible year. Benetton Treviso have made some good strides this season and it’s always good to be part of a team that’s ambitious and getting results. I owe so much to Hartpury – I’ll never forget where I’ve come from, that’s for sure."
