Siddall, born in Auckland, New Zealand, was a U.S. citizen at birth due to American ancestry. He was educated at Auckland's King's College and obtained a law degree from the University of Auckland.[1]
After moving to New York to play for Old Blue RFC, Siddall was called up by the United States for the 2013 Pacific Nations Cup, making his Test debut as a fullback against Canada in Toronto. He switched to fly-half for the 2013 end-of-year internationals and in the match against Georgia kicked a last-minute penalty, from 40 metres out, to give the U.S. their first win of the year.[2] Concussion problems limited him to two capped matches in 2014, which included a Test against the All Blacks, before Siddall made the decision to step away from the game on doctors advice.[3][4]
