Ralph Adams-Hale (born 31 March 1997) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a prop for Premiership Rugby club Saracens.[1]
Adams-Hale lived for much of his childhood in the village of Kimpton, Hertfordshire before moving to St Albans for the Saracens academy squad.
Adams-Hale attended Roundwood Park School and subsequently studied physics at King's College London, although "would have been at Cambridge had it been possible to juggle the logistics".[2]
Adams-Hale began playing rugby at a young age, playing junior rugby with Harpenden RFC.[3] He played back row when he was a teenager.[3] He continued up to senior level with Harpenden, and also became a key figure in his school First XV.
Adams-Hale was a member of the England under-20 squad that completed a grand slam during the 2017 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.[4] Later that year he started for the side that finished runners up to New Zealand in the final of the 2017 World Rugby Under 20 Championship.[5]
In October 2018 Adams-Hale made his club debut for Saracens in a Premiership Rugby Cup match against Leicester Tigers and also featured in the final of that competition as they finished runners up to Northampton Saints.[6] [7] At the end of that season he came off the bench in the Premiership final as Saracens defeated Exeter Chiefs to retain their title.[8]
After Saracens were relegated for salary cap breaches, Adams-Hale featured in the 2021 RFU Championship play-off victory over Ealing Trailfinders which saw Saracens gain promotion and an immediate return to the top flight.[9] He signed a new contract which will see him remain with Saracens until at least 2023.[7]
