Denstone College is delighted to celebrate the remarkable achievements of its 1XV captains, Fin Charles and Lochie Glackin, who have achieved significant success at academy and international level.
Fin Charles – 1XV Captain
Fin has signed a professional contract to join the Senior Academy at Leicester Tigers, marking a significant milestone in his rugby career. His talent has been recognised at international level, earning him a cap for England U18s at the 6 Nations Championship.
Beyond academy rugby, Fin was named NextGen Schoolboy Team of the Year and was selected for the Team of the Tournament at the Global Schools Challenge held at Grey College in South Africa—a testament to his consistency and quality as a player.
Lochie Glackin – 1XV Vice Captain
Lochie represents Scotland at U18s level and is part of the Leicester Tigers Academy programme. His journey exemplifies the resilience and determination that defines Denstone College's approach to sport and personal development.
Having overcome three major surgeries, Lochie's commitment to his rehabilitation and return to competitive rugby demonstrates exceptional character. His achievements despite significant setbacks highlight the importance of mental strength and dedication—qualities we actively develop in all our pupils
A Culture of Excellence
These achievements reflect Denstone College's strong sporting tradition and commitment to nurturing talent across all disciplines. Our rugby programme provides pupils with access to elite coaching, competitive fixtures, and pathways to academy and international representation.
We're incredibly proud of Fin and Lochie and wish them continued success in their rugby careers.
