A TEENAGER from Kenilworth, who attends Princethorpe College, made history on the international stage.

Henry Fox, who plays for Old Leamingtonians RFC, captained Jamaica’s newly-formed under-16 team in their first-ever match.

The 16-year-old has also played for Gloucester Rugby’s academy this season.

Jamaica will play another friendly against Coventry Rugby’s under-16 academy at Ealing Trailfinders next weekend.

Jamaica Rugby Football Union hold ambitions to become a tier one nation in the sport.




The creation of an under-16 team forms part of a five-year pathway led by coach Nash Cohen.

Jamaica hope to qualify for the 2029 under-20 World Cup.


The programme includes international training camps and fixtures against elite under-18 academy teams from England, France and South Africa.

Jamaica also hope to create university and club scholarship pathways in the United Kingdom, United States and southern hemisphere.
