Career details:

First played rugby for St Stephen’s Old Boys XV in the 1921-22 season and gained his place in the 1^st XV in the 1922-23 season.  The following season he threw in his lot with Bath ‘A’ and was spotted as an up and coming forward. On occasions when the 1^st XV was depleted Len, or “Bender” to give him his popular sobriquet, was called upon and performed admirably.

Len gained his Club cap in the 1923-24 season. He became Bath ‘A’ vice-captain for several seasons.

He was a lightweight forward but made up for it with his reading of the game and speed meaning he was able to rise to the big occasion

Len was a quiet unassuming lad but a sound worker.
