Early life
Brought up in Hunters Hill, Australia, Ramm was a talented gymnast throughout his childhood and had aspirations to become an Olympian. He competed in all six apparatus, but a lack of specialisation in any one led him to pursue a different path.[2]
Ramm was educated at St Joseph's College, Hunters Hill. He played in the College's 2nd XV in his final year, 2015.[3]
Club career
Waratahs
He was signed to the Waratahs squad for the 2020 season.[4][5][6][7]
Northampton Saints
He signed for Northampton Saints ahead of the 2022/23 season.[8] Ramm made his debut in the Premiership Rugby Cup, scoring two tries in a 26-28 defeat to London Irish.[9] His first Premiership try came in away defeat at Gloucester in December 2022.[10] He went on to win back-to-back Saints player of the month awards, picking up the award in both December 2022 and January 2023.[11] After a stellar debut season where he scored eight tries in nineteen appearances, Ramm was awarded Northampton's Breakthrough Player of the Season award and the Player's Player of the Season.[12]
Ramm began the 2023–24 campaign in excellent form, scoring three tries in his first four games. However, he sustained an MCL injury against Harlequins in November and didn't return until March.[13] He signed a new contract with Northampton Saints in February 2024.[14] In his second season with the club, in spite of his injury-hit campaign, Ramm made 15 appearances and scored 10 tries.
