Will's illustrious rugby career includes playing for prestigious clubs such as the Northampton Saints, Exeter Chiefs, Bedford Blues, and Saracens Rugby Club. He also represented England on the international stage, securing a victory in the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship.
Beyond the rugby field, Will has made significant strides in the media world.

Will has established himself as a recognisable media personality, leveraging his experience and insights from his sports career.
In this exclusive episode, Will shares invaluable advice on prioritizing health and growth in your career, with a special focus on the role of social media. He discusses the importance of building your personal brand and using social media as a powerful tool to engage with fans and express yourself authentically.
"I always believe that social media has helped me," Will reflects. "In this day and age, social media is crucial for your brand and selling yourself. Rugby is a very traditional sport, and being in front of a camera speaking your mind was often looked down upon. But in American sports, they love individual characters. Social media allows you to be recognized not just as a rugby player but also for who you are outside the sport."
Will's journey from professional rugby to a successful media career is a testament to his determination and strategic use of social media. "I wanted to retire on my terms and transition to my next career in media. Social media has been my free advertisement tool, helping me gain profile, experience, and publicity. If used right, it’s a great tool to engage with fans, express yourself, and be your own person."
