Dean joined The Swans ahead of the 2024/25 season from local club Harlequins Amateurs, and he has quickly cemented himself as a cornerstone of the squad — a player whose commitment, leadership, and passion for the game perfectly embody what Staines Rugby stands for. From his tireless work rate on the training ground to his calm authority and tactical awareness during matches, Dean has shown that he’s a natural leader both in character and performance.

As captain, Dean will continue to lead by example on and off the field, upholding the club’s core values of teamwork, respect, and community spirit. His influence extends far beyond match days — whether it’s mentoring younger players, shaping the team’s culture, or playing an active role in the continued growth of the club.

With Dean at the helm, there’s a real buzz of excitement for what’s to come this season. The squad is shaping up strongly, the energy is high, and the goals are clear: to push ourselves further and make our club and supporters proud.

Please join us in congratulating Dean on his appointment and wishing him and the entire squad the very best for the season ahead.

Let’s go, Swans! ??
