My name is Jake Parkinson and I play for Our first team as a second row, I come from Burnley near Manchester and moved to London to pursue my career in rugby. I am in my third year of Study at Brunel studying Business and management. I represented Scotland U20’s at the most recent U20 Six nations starting every game. I then played the whole of the Junior World trophy in Kenya with this team before returning to Brunel. My day job is the Oddballs Ambassador for Brunel delivering life saving talks to schools and societies about how to identify and deal with Testicular cancer. My hobby is DJing which I do weekly at a local bar.

I live quite the life reading this back! More info about me can be found on my Instagram @jake_parkinson2003 and @brunelrugby
