Marland Yarde (born 20 April 1992) is an English rugby union wing who plays for London Irish. He has previously spent time on loan at London Welsh. At international level Yarde represents England.
Early life
Born in Castries, Saint Lucia,[1] Yarde moved to England as a 9 year old. He came through the England age-group teams since he took up rugby aged 14 after originally playing football for QPR academy. He then earned a scholarship to Whitgift School, south London.[2]
Club career
Marland returned to London Irish from London Welsh ready to play for the 2010 season. In his debut season, Marland only made one appearance for Irish, against Sale Sharks, He started at wing and in his debut match he managed to score a try. Unfortunately this apparently wasn't enough to force his way though to the main team. The following season was an improvement, where he appeared for Irish a further 9 times, but his only tries for the season came in the 52 point demolition of Gloucester, when he came on as a replacement to score two tries. In the 2012/2013 season he again improved, appearing 23 times for Irish, scoring 7 tries, including a hat-trick against Worcester Warriors.
International career
Yarde won his first England cap on 15 June 2013, against Argentina in the second Test of their summer tour. Named in the starting XV, he scored two tries in their record 51–26 victory.[3]
