Hartford Harpooners

Another One @djkhaled Hartford Harpooners are pumped to have @graysonhaynes join the Harpooners. Grayson started his playing career in Naples Italy at the age of 12 and hasn’t looked back since. He’s played for many clubs in the U.S. playing at @delawarerugby where with the help of @cmattinaa were able to reinstate the team to the school, wonder what happened 👀😏. Grayson went on to represent men’s clubs with @wrfc1963 @beltway_elite @skillrugby @rekavary @potomacexilesrugby. His most memorable experience was representing  @atlantisrugby at the @rugbybarbadosworld7s helping the team to a championship going undefeated. Through that experience and being of Barbados descent he was offered an opportunity to represent the @rugbybarbados246 national team. Grayson can be found playing in the second row or back row. Grayson is a fast forward that has the skills of a back and you will be excited to see him slicing it up for the #HartfordHarpooners #ManifestingLegendaryRuggers 😏

  Ok  Hartford Harpooners are in for a treat. @thereal.dbu Shaquille Eaddy is suiting up for the Harpooners. Shaq is a versatile player that has come a long way since starting his rugby career with the @bulldogrugby Shaq hailing from the city of New Haven came in as a crossover athlete having played many traditional American sports. Shaq is a competitor and always brings the heat and can carry a chip on his shoulder known for his quick thinking,speed, and freakish athletic ability you won’t want to sleep on him as he has a killer instinct. You’ll find Shaq being capable of playing anywhere in the backfield but fancies himself as a fullback due to his ability to lead a defense and ability to counter attack if the opposition kicks it his way, stay tuned as Shaq looks to do some big things for the #hartfordharpooners #ManifestingLegendaryRuggers 😏

@thegreatcatsby69 The Hartford Harpooners found a needle in the haystack with this one, introducing Connor Buck the “Polar Bear” unofficial official nickname Connor is an exciting player to watch and brings a lot of passion along with some biceps 😉. He is one to watch out for as he is probably the fastest prop to play the game in America. Just making his return from Bermuda with the @miami.sun.10 he looks to compete and represent his home state for the #hartfordharpooners stay tuned!  #ManifestingLegendaryRuggers 😏

 The Harpooners have picked up a local legend, a Connecticut boy through and through who has traveled all over the country to challenge himself and pursue his dream of playing rugby at the highest level.  @myles.mcquone has represented great teams @fairfieldyankeesrugby helping them to secure their first national championship then went on to represent @northeastacademy, @nyacrugby  Myles accomplished his goals moving on to represent multiple teams in the @usmlr @nolagoldrugby , @nefreejacks , @rugbyunitedny.  Myles is now ready to represent his home state and suit up for the @hartfordharpooners.  Myles plays in the second row and you can see he is fit for the position as he flys into the sky to win line outs he also is a hard man to take down when he gets his hand on the ball. Welcome to Hartford Myles!

The Harpooners are ecstatic to have one of America’s best join the side bringing about his experience and leadership.  Matt “Hollywood” Houston is excited to suit up for the Harpooners and lead as he is ready to cause havoc in the breakdowns and have some hard charging carries.  Hughston has represented Professional Rugby and U.S. Major League Rugby representing teams like Ohio Aviators, Nola Gold, Rugby United New York, and Old Glory DC. Hughston works hard on and off the pitch. When he’s not on the field he’s paving the way with his business High Performance Managment Group signing America’s top talent into the USMLR 

  The Harpooners are proud to have Monate Akuei of Kenya’s National 15’s and 7’s Team. Monate is an inspiration to all and leaves a lasting impact on those he comes into contact with. Monate is a hard working elusive athlete who can be found floating in the centers or in the back row.  We are proud to provide him with the opportunity to express himself as he works to garner a USMLR contract. Stayed tuned...
