Charlie joined the full time Harlequins Academy at the beginning of the 2011/2012 season. He started playing rugby at 6 at a local club in Leicestershire and continued at this club until he was U15. Charlie joined the Quins academy at EPDG level in 2010 and before this was part of the Leicester Tigers Academy.
He has represented England at U16, U18 and U19 and is currently part of the England U20 squad.
Charlie's aim from a very young age has been to play rugby in the Premiership so he is very excited to now play full time for Harlequins. His aim now is to keep playing consistently whether it be in a quins shirt or for his loan club Esher. He is particularly looking forward to the upcoming LV and A league fixtures so he can continue to improve as a player.
To date Charlie's most memorable achievements have been captaining the team at Oakham School and taking them to the Daily Cup Final, being selected for the EPS U20 squad and making his Premiership debut for Harlequins against Gloucester in September 2011.
