Early life and education

De Glanville is the son of Yolanda and Phil de Glanville, a former rugby player and captain of the England national rugby union team. [3]

He was born in Bath, [4] attended school at Beechen Cliff School in Bath and joined Bath Rugby academy. After attaining 3 As at A-Level, [5] he then moved to the University of Leeds to study Biology and was loaned to National League 2 North side Otley R.U.F.C. on a dual-registration whilst studying there. [6] [7] De Glanville then transferred to the University of Bath in order to keep training with Bath academy. [8]

Rugby playing career

Club

In 2019, de Glanville captained Bath at the Premiership Sevens. Later in the year, he signed his first senior contract to play for the Bath Rugby senior team. [8] He made his Premiership Rugby debut against Exeter Chiefs in September 2019. [9]

International

In the summer of 2017 De Glanville was a member of the England under-18 team that toured South Africa and the following year he scored two tries against Wales under-18 at Sardis Road. [10] [11] He scored a try for England under-20 against Scotland in the final round of the 2019 Six Nations Under 20s Championship. [12] Later that year he was a member of the squad that finished fifth at the 2019 World Rugby Under 20 Championship and scored a try during the pool stage against Australia. [7] [13]

In October 2020 he was called up to a senior England training squad by head coach Eddie Jones. [14]

Playing positions and style

De Glanville has played in several positions in the backs. The Bath coach Todd Blackadder once said that de Glanville would play well at fly-half. However de Glanville often plays as a centre, following in his father's footsteps and having played there through several England age groups. He has also played at full-back for Bath United in the Premiership "A" League, [15] and the Premiership. [16]

De Glanville has expressed hope that his relatively low body weight may increase somewhat with age. [17]
