The talented stand-off switched from the Bristol Bears Academy to Old Bath Road last season and impressed for the Titans as well as Berkshire Under 20s.

While the RFU cancelled the league season for all levels including National One and below last Friday, they are hopeful of introducing some form of regional cup competition if the ongoing coronavirus pandemic eases at the beginning of next year.

And despite having to wait for a return to action, Jack said: “I’ve been keeping myself motivated and while the delayed start to January is frustrating, we’ve got to move on from that and I look at it as being extra time to improve myself.

“Everyone’s so keen and that makes it really enjoyable and there’s also a competitiveness at training which improves everyone – playing in the Ready4Rugby tournament and winning was brilliant!”

While group training will unfortunately be put on hold after the country re-enters lockdown from tomorrow (Thursday), Jack said he has learnt a lot in the ‘welcoming’ Rams atmosphere since joining the club.

He revealed: “Going through the years at Bristol Academy things got harder as you went up the ages, but this is a senior set-up and the game is played differently.

“But everyone around (Rams) is brilliant and I can’t fault anything. Coming from Bristol over to here is a bit of a trek, but it’s not a problem as everyone is so welcoming.

“There are good banter levels everywhere and I’ve been enjoying the training and the gym, (S&C coaches) Joe (Southwell) and Daryl (Watson) have really helped me out although it’s been a real challenge, but hopefully I’m growing into it.”

And while Rams’ supporters will have to wait a little longer to see Jack in action, he gave a hint of what he hopes to bring to the club in the years to come.

He concluded: “I like to be a reliable 10 and show that to all the boys so they build a trust in me. When I do get an opportunity I’ll be looking to perform and then go from there.”
