Sam Spink (born 6 October 1999) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a centre for Premiership Rugby club Saracens.[1]

Career

[edit | edit source]

In August 2017 Spink represented England under-18.[2] An ankle injury meant he missed the 2019 World Rugby Under 20 Championship.[3]

Spink played 26 games and scored three tries for Wasps RFC between 2018 and 2022, and also spent time on loan at Nottingham.[4] In his last season at Wasps he played in their 2021–22 EPCR Challenge Cup semi-final defeat against Lyon.[5] In October 2022 Wasps entered administration and Spink was made redundant along with all other players and coaching staff.[6]

Spink joined Western Force and scored two tries in a game against Melbourne Rebels during the 2023 Super Rugby Pacific season.[7] He also featured in the following 2024 campaign.[8]

In April 2024 it was confirmed that Spink would leave Force to join Saracens.[4]
