JOE BROWNING
Joe began his rugby career at Stoke-on-Trent RUFC Mini & Junior Section, he's gone on to be a Leicester Tigers Senior Squad member and travelled the globe with the England 7's Squad ?
Joe was more than happy to share his story (and a few snaps ?) of being a part of Stoke-on-Trent RUFC.
"Stoke Rugby Club is a place for anyone and everyone. The coaches, staff, players, in fact everybody associated with Stoke is part of a rugby family.
Sunday mornings were awesome and that was often the highlight of my week. The club as a whole is as fun off the pitch as it is on the pitch. There’s always something going on in the clubhouse and people to speak to.
Stoke welcomed me as a junior fresh off the football field with no idea how to play rugby. The coaches stuck at it despite the numerous times I’d be in front of the ball and I’m eternally grateful Stoke Rugby Club because without grass roots rugby, I wouldn’t be where I am today".
