Weymouth Rugby Club star Jake Guildford has been called up to represent England at under-16 level.

Guildford, who plays for the Seasiders’ under-15s, is also an ace athlete with Weymouth St Paul’s Harriers.

And his latest achievement comes as no surprise to coach Paul Harding.

He said: “Having coached Jake for the past two years with my coaching team at his age group and at Dorset & Wilts, I have seen him develop both for club and county.

“He’s always hard working and always looking to improve, not just himself but those around him.

“He has all the attributes to go all the way and we wish him every success at England level. He is a great lad and Weymouth Rugby Club are very proud of him.”
