Widnes born Will began playing rugby at the age of six with Halton Farnworth Hornets progressing through to the ‘Open Age’ team before being invited to attend trials with the Vikings at the age of seventeen and going on to represent the club at Under-19 and Reserve grade. The former Saints Peter and Paul High School pupil names his father, also Will, who played for Bradford, Warrington and Leigh as the major influence on his career and cites his debut for the Under-19s as his career highlight to date. The immediate ambition for the former Lancashire Under-15 and Under-16 representative is to claim a First Team place and to help the Vikings return to Super League. Liverpool fan ‘Tillekey’ also enjoys Mountain Walking and combines his rugby with his role with LAC Air Conditioning.
