George Ford Bio

George Ford is the son of legendary rugby league player Mike Ford. As a result, from the age of five, George played rugby league. However, after first playing rugby union at age 11, Ford developed a natural affinity with the code and played for the England under 18s at just 15 years of age. Shortly after, he signed with Leicester Tigers.

Ever since he was young, George Ford has accumulated a lot of trophies. He captained the England under 18s in 2009/10 before he moved up to the under 20s where he helped the side win an U20 Six Nations Grand Slam. In addition, despite being the youngest fly half in the tournament, he was instrumental in guiding England to the final of the U20 Junior World Cup. Due to his successes, he was named as the World Rugby Junior Player of the Year in 2011.

From here, George Ford's career has gone from strength to strength. In club rugby, he has successfully represented Leicester Tigers across two separate stints, winning the Premiership Rugby title twice and the Anglo-Welsh Cup. Additionally, he also enjoyed a successful spell at Bath. Since 2022, he’s played for Sale Sharks

That said, George Ford has saved some of his best performances for England, who he has represented since 2014. During this time, he's won the Six Nations Championship three times, the Autumn Nations Cup once and finished as a runner-up at the 2019 Rugby World Cup

Almost every year, it feels as though Ford adds another trophy to his already-brimming cabinet. We can't wait to see what he wins next.
