Scrum half Raffi Quirke exploded onto the Premiership scene during the 2020/21 season, becoming the youngest Sale Sharks scrum-half in the league’s history when he made his debut against Harlequins at the age of 19.

The electric half-back nearly scored almost immediately after coming on as a replacement and his form quickly led to international recognition as he received a call-up to Eddie Jones’ England squad for the 2021 Autumn international series.
He scored his first England try in the win against South Africa at Twickenham on November 20, 2021.
Described as being ‘as North West as Coronation Street’ by the Daily Telegraph, Chorlton-born Raffi played his junior rugby at Broughton Park Rugby Club before joining the Sharks Academy.
