Rugby career

[edit]

Reffell came through the academy of Saracens and made his club debut in the Anglo-Welsh Cup against Sale Sharks in November 2017.[1][2] In 2017 he also made his debut for the England under-18 side and would go on to make an appearance for England under-20 in a defeat against Scotland during the 2018 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.[3][4]

Reffell holds the Saracens club record for most tackles in a game with 39 against Worcester Warriors during a Premiership Rugby Cup semi-final in March 2019.[2] He came off the bench in the final of the competition which they lost to Northampton Saints.[5] After Saracens were relegated in 2020 for salary cap breaches, Reffell featured in the RFU Championship play-off victory over Ealing Trailfinders which saw Saracens gain promotion and an immediate return to the top flight.[6][7] His performances during this campaign saw him win their young player of the season award for 2020–21.[2]

Reffell is an Irish-qualified player and joined Ulster for the 2022–23 season.[2][8] He made 42 tackles in a single game, on 1 January 2023 against Munster.[9]
