Sam Underhill Bio

Born in the United States in July 1996, when his father served overseas in the Royal Air Force, Sam Underhill returned to the UK at the age of one. 

His rugby career began in Gloucestershire, where he played for Sir Thomas Rich's School, Longlevens RFC and Gloucester Academy.

Underhill made his senior debut for Gloucester at just 17, but soon made the move to Ospreys, playing in what was the Pro12 in the 2015-16 season. He also marked his first appearance for the side with a Man-of-the-Match performance against Munster. This was all while he studied for an economics degree at Cardiff University.

Sam Underhill's next career move saw him sign for Bath in January 2017. He still plays for the Premiership side today and he’s made more than 100 appearances for the club.  

In the same year, Sam Underhill made his debut for England. Prior to this, he had captained the U18s team, leading them to win the FIRA/AER European Championship title in Poland in 2014.

Sam Underhill has since been capped 40 times by his country. In addition to playing in the annual Six Nations - including England's win in the 2020 tournament - he was one of the standout players from the 2019 Rugby World Cup side and played in the final, earning a runners-up medal following England's loss to South Africa.

Sam Underhill has many great years ahead of him in rugby union and is certain to build on his already impressive legacy in the sport.
