Max Lahiff (born 9 December 1989) is an English rugby union footballer who plays as a loosehead prop for the Melbourne Rebels in Super Rugby.[1]
Early life
Lahiff was born in London and was educated at Papplewick School[2] in Ascot followed by Wellington College[3] Berkshire where he won the Under 18 Daily Mail Cup. He had spells with London Welsh and the London Irish Academy as a youngster.[4]
Career
He made his senior debut for London Irish against London Wasps in 2009 and made a total of 78 appearances in his 4 years playing for the Exiles. During this time he gained a reputation for strong scrummaging and a physically imposing style of play.[4][5]
It was announced that he would leave Irish at the end of the 2012-13 season and link up with the Melbourne Rebels ahead of their 2014 Super Rugby campaign. He also spent a season playing ITM Cup rugby in New Zealand for the Hawke's Bay Magpies.[6][7][8]
