Harrow Way’s star rugby player Mikey Summerfield is making a bid for an international place with the Irish national rugby team. The Year 11 student attended three countrywide trials to make the final squad for the Irish Exiles, a team which specifically identifies and develops potential Irish players in England, Scotland and Wales. Mikey will tour with the exiles, playing three matches for the team during August.

Mikey has been an avid and committed rugby player since he was eight years old training every week with Andover Rugby Club. As well as initially playing for Harrow Way he was selected by professional club London Irish to join their Developing Player Programme (DPP) when he was in Year 8. Selected from across Berkshire, Hampshire and Middlesex Mikey trained twice a week with the club progressing from their bronze scheme through to the Gold AASE scheme – Achieving Academic and Sporting Excellence, which is targeted at talented 16 to 18 year old students who have the aspirations and potential to play at the elite end of the game.
