Matt Banahan (born 30 December 1986 in Jersey) is a rugby union player for Bath in the Guinness Premiership. His main position is wing, and he can also operate as an outside centre.
Banahan grew up playing field hockey, earning selection to the Jersey and West of England junior representative sides before he decided his hockey career was stalled and switching to rugby union.[1] He was previously with the London Irish Academy and was brought to the Recreation Ground as a lock. [2]
He is seen as a future England International. [3] [4] He has already been selected for the "wider" England Sevens squad, which refers to a pool of players who supplement the 11 core squad members. As a member of the wider squad, he is eligible for selection for up to four of the eight events in the 2007-08 IRB Sevens World Series.[1]
