Sean Reffell (born 4 November 1998) is an English rugby union player who plays as a flanker for United Rugby Championship side Ulster.
Rugby career
Reffell came through the academy of Saracens and made his club debut in the Anglo-Welsh Cup against Sale Sharks in November 2017.[2][3] 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.[4][5]
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.[3] He came off the bench in the final of the competition which they lost to Northampton Saints.[6] 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.[7][8] His performances during this campaign saw him win their young player of the season award for 2020–21.[3]
Reffell is an Irish-qualified player and joined Ulster for the 2022–23 season.[3][9]
