Oliver Kane Drafted by San Diego Legion

Congratulations to our very own Oliver Kane! In this month’s Major League Rugby draft, he was selected by our hometown San Diego Legion in the second round!

Kane is the first player drafted from a San Diego university into MLR and the first from the Gold Coast League. He served as captain of USD Rugby, leading us to a league title and a national title at the Rugby 7s Collegiate Championship in May.

Head coach Charlie Purdon had this to say: "Ollie's selection brings recognition to USD and demonstrates that San Diego as a whole is the place to go if you want the best quality individual player development opportunities.”

We look forward to watching Ollie take the pitch at Snapdragon Stadium soon!
