Career Biography

Ellis Genge is the most destructive scrummager in English rugby and one of the most charismatic characters in the sport. The Bristol-born loosehead prop combines raw power with surprising mobility, and his carrying in the tight channels has become a signature weapon for both club and country.

Genge's journey from the streets of Knowle West in Bristol to the England captaincy is one of rugby's most compelling stories. He has spoken openly about growing up in one of Bristol's most deprived areas and using rugby as his escape route. That background has given him a competitive edge that few opponents can match.

His leadership qualities saw him appointed Bristol Bears captain, and he has captained England on multiple occasions. Genge's ability to galvanise those around him through the sheer force of his personality makes him invaluable beyond his considerable technical contributions at set piece and in open play.
