Harry has also represented England Rugby Under 18s [2] in the 2026 U18 Six Nations Festival held in Vichy, France.

Harry was catapulted into the public eye aged six years old when he captured the imagination of the public after a heartfelt rendition of the National Anthem [3] at Twickenham Stadium in 2015 with former England Full Back Mike Brown dubbing Harry " a legend" [4] in a post on Twitter. This resulted in his own hashtag #doitlikeharry [5] trending in the UK.

This lead to major press and social media attention around the world and an appearance on his own TV Talk show [6] produced by long-time England sponsor, O2. In this interview he interviewed England players Dylan Hartley, Kieran Brookes and Luther Burrell. This interview was circulated on social media platforms and involved young Harry asking if the players would rather play rugby against a gorilla or a crocodile. [7]

Over the years, Harry has played for many clubs including Devonport Services in Plymouth where he was part of the team who won the Devon Cup at Under 14s, Under 15s and Under 16s.

Since then, Harry has gone on to represent Devon Under 18s and to skipper the South West Under 18s. [8]The pinnacle of his career to date is his 4 caps for England rugby after performances against France [9] at Chinnor RFC and Ireland [10], Georgia [11] and Italy [12] in Vichy.
