Kyle Sinckler
Kyle Norval Jonathan Sean Sinckler (born 30 March 1993) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a prop for Top 14 club Toulon.
A graduate of the Harlequins Academy, Sinckler made his brief debut in the 2011–12 season, before going out on loan to Richmond for the entire season, becoming part of the squad that won promotion to the National League 1. He returned to Harlequins for the 2012–13 season as a primary squad rotation player; a brief loan to Ealing followed in the following league campaign, before breaking into the first team squad.
Sinckler has represented England at under-16, under-18, under-19 and under-20 levels, and has been a crucial member of the senior team since 2016, in which he has won the Six Nations Championship, the Calcutta Cup and the Millennium Trophy. Sinckler's performances for England led to him being included in Warren Gatland's squad for the British & Irish Lions' tour to New Zealand in 2017. In 2019, he was a member of the England squad that finished as runners-up to South Africa at the Rugby World Cup in Japan. He was substituted due to a head injury in the third minute of the final, having been accidentally elbowed by Maro Itoje as they both made a tackle.
Sinckler was born in Wandsworth, London, and grew up in Merton. He began playing rugby from the age of eight. Sinckler says that it was his mother, Donna, who instigated his rugby career. According to Sinckler, he was a keen footballer though his physical nature resulted in him dropping the sport.[clarification needed] His mother took him to local rugby union side Battersea Ironsides in Earlsfield. Sinckler attended Graveney School and Epsom College.
Sinckler began his Harlequins career when Academy coach Collin Osborne saw him, aged 12, playing at one of his various positions, this time full back, against King's College School OB, Wimbledon, where his talent was immediately spotted.
Sinckler graduated from the Harlequins Academy squad after playing his first game for the club in their 42–6 thrashing over Gloucester in round 2 of the 2011–12 Premiership although he only appeared for the last 5 minutes of the game. Sinckler only went on to play one more game for Harlequins in that same season, coming off the bench against Sale Sharks during their 37–25 victory in the 2011–12 LV Cup. During this season, Sinckler was sent to Richmond on loan, where he helped them earn promotion to National League 1.
Sinckler then spent the whole of the following season playing at Harlequins where he made seven appearances, all of which were from the bench. He played in various competitions, and made his Heineken Cup debut against Zebre which Harlequins went on to win 53–5. Sinckler highly contributed to their 2012–13 LV Cup winning campaign, playing in four out of the six games, including the semi-final against Bath.
Sinckler was sent on loan to Ealing Trailfinders at the beginning of the 2013–14 season; though intended to be for the entire league campaign, he was recalled by Harlequins. Sinckler made his way into the Harlequins match-day team, when Paul Doran-Jones sustained an injury early on in the season. He made his first appearance for the season during a 37–13 victory over Worcester Warriors. However, Sinckler did have to wait until mid-February to gain his first start for the team, which occurred in a 25–20 defeat to Gloucester. A week later, Sinckler went on to play his first full game for the club, which Harlequins narrowly defeated Worcester 21–20. Sinckler went on to start in their Premiership semi-final play-off tie against Saracens, which resulted in a 31–17 defeat. In May 2016, Sinckler was a member of the side that lost to Montpellier in the final of the European Rugby Challenge Cup.
