Biography

Name: Drew King
Age: 27


Why do you play rugby?

I grew up playing every sport that was available to me, from rugby and football to squash and athletics; rugby really struck a chord with due to the level of dedication and teamwork that it requires and the knowledge that you are needed to make the team work are unlike anything else. I have suffered horrible injuries while playing and yet, I somehow get drawn back in every season.

Life outside East Grinstead RFC

Outside of rugby, I spend most my time at work; unfortunately. Otherwise I spend a lot of my time in the gym or eating; and I spend lots of time with my friends who are very important to me and for maintaining my mental health.


Who’s your favourite player and why?

My favourite player has to be Manu Tuilagi, due to his destructive power and skill level; but also, he’s suffered and overcome so many injuries and still maintains his ability.

What’s your favourite rugby moment?

My favourite rugby moment cannot be narrowed down to just a singular moment, it is every time I get the opportunity to pull on a match shirt and step onto a pitch.


What’s your advice to younger East Grinstead RFC players coming through?

Listen to those around you, take the time to ask questions and learn from other people. There is a wealth of experience at EGRFC and everyone is there to make improvements! Don’t be afraid to take risks either.

What is the Best Thing About East Grinstead RFC?

The level of inclusivity around the club, from the younger teams coming through, to the women and the senior teams; everyone is happy to help and achieve the club’s goals.
