Two seasons later, he made his first team debut off the bench against Sale in the Powergen Cup, a significant step up from his earlier appearances for Holmfirth and Huddersfield YMCA. He appeared 127 times for Leeds and scored 12 tries before crossing the Pennines along with Carnegie club mates Luther Burrell, Hendre Fourie and Scott Mathie to join the Sharks. In his final campaign for Leeds, he made 28 appearances and played the full 80 minutes in all except seven of those games. [3]
He has since joined Wasps, starting in the 2013-2014 campaign. [4]
Myall has been capped by England at both England U18 and England Saxons level and was included in head coach Stuart Lancaster's team for the 2013 tour of South America. His first appearance for England came as a replacement for England against the Barbarians in an uncapped match.[ citation needed ]
