Monkton Wood Academy has congratulated former student Richard Capstick, who left Heathfield School (the former name of Monkton Wood) in 2016, on his continued success in professional rugby.
Richard has been a key player for Exeter Chiefs and has now achieved another milestone in his career – his recent selection to play for England A.
He was part of the England A team that secured an impressive 28-12 victory against Ireland A.
A spokesperson said: “We are incredibly proud of Richard’s achievements.
“His dedication and hard work have been evident since his school days, and it’s fantastic to see him continue to excel at the highest levels of rugby.
“We wish him all the best in his future performances with England A and Exeter Chiefs.”
Richard’s journey from Heathfield to professional rugby serves as an inspiration to current students.
His selection for England A is a testament to his commitment and talent, and school leaders look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next.
