Pete is an outstanding prospect who has been capped by England at U18 level and appeared for Gloucester at the Middlesex 7's in 2006 and 2007 scoring a hat trick against Sale Sharks for whom he appeared for at the 2008 Middlesex 7's. He studied at Hartpury College and completed his Degree in the summer of 2008. He is now concentrating on his Rugby career and has established himself in the First Division and would ultimately like to play Premiership Rugby. At 22 years of age his pace is staggering and he has an asset of turning defence into attack regularly going the length of the pitch. Very comfortable in defence and under the high ball with good hands Peter is an outstanding young player who we feel will make his mark in the professional game. An intelligent player who understands the technical aspect of the game he is committed and conditions himself well. He would at some stage like to play in Europe.
Pete Swatkins announced his arrival in National 1 during the 2008 - 2009 season with 16 tries in 29 games. He demonstrated what a very dangerous player he is with lots of pace and skill. We are very excited about this player and feel that he can reach the very highest levels in the game in the UK or Europe.
We are pleased to announce that Pete has signed with Rotherham Titans RFC for the 2009 - 2010 season.
