Dan Scarbrough

Who is Dan Scarbrough?

Dan Scarbrough is a former rugby union player who played on the wing or full back for Leeds Tykes, Saracens, Racing Métro and England.

He was National Division One leading try scorer with Wakefield for two seasons from 1999/2000 for whom he scored 17 tries from 46 starts and 2 as replacement before moving to Leeds Tykes where he continued his try scoring exploits, finishing second in the 2001/2002 list of Zurich Premiership scorers.

It earned him a place in the final two England A matches of 2002 and he played in all four A games during 2003. Equally at home at wing or full back and instantly recognisable by his blond hair, he played in the first Churchill Cup and won his first cap in the 43–9 win over Wales last August.

He missed out on a place in the 2003 World Cup squad, but he played in his second successive Churchill Cup in June as part of the England side which lost out in the final to New Zealand Māori.

Scarbrough won his first full cap for England in August 2003 with a 43–9 win over the Welsh, in the World Cup warm-up match. He has also been capped for England in the Sevens.

He moved from Leeds Tykes to Saracens in 2004. He made his debut against Wasps in 4/9/04.
