Biography
Dominic joined London Welsh from near neighbours London Irish after impressing during a loan spell at

Dragons’ 39-25 win over Otley, and set up Paul Sampson for the clubs Try of the Season.
An injury sustained in his third appearance for Welsh, at home to Plymouth Albion, brought his season to a premature end.
A product of the London Irish Academy, Dominic joined the Exiles in July 2002 whilst studying at
Wellington College, Crowthorne.

Dominic has represented England at U16, U18, U19, U21 and Sevens levels and played in the Commonwealth Youth Games in Australia in 2004. He has previously also played for Richmond RFC and the Samurai Sevens.
