Biography

Born in the small town of Hawick in the Scottish Borders, Rhys started his rugby career with Hawick minis along with his education at Hawick High School where he developed his skills.

He then moved on a scholarship to prestigious rugby school, Sedbergh, where he continued to develop his game, and was rewarded with international caps at his age group.

Tait represented Scotland at Under 16 and Under 18 level, before having the honour of captaining the Under 20 team at the 2021 Six Nations.

Thanks to his performances in the U20s Six Nations, Rhys signed his first professional contract with Glasgow Warriors and worked his way through the academy. Up against the likes of Jack Dempsey, Matt Fagerson and Rory Darge, Rhys came to Doncaster on loan towards the back end of the 2022/23 season, before signing a full-time contract with the Knights last season.

We are fortunate enough to have Rhys again for the 2024/25 campaign, who is such a dedicated and experienced player, and he will certainly find himself as a regular starter this season.
