TEENAGER Shane Darby is progressing through the ranks of the country's most talented young rugby players.
The 15-year-old student not only plays at full-back for Northallerton College and the area team, he has just been selected to play for his county.
After taking part in his first county training session, he was selected to play in a county rugby festival at St Peter's School, York, yesterday, a key step in his progression through the sport.
Shane takes his inspiration from his favourite player, Sale Sharks and England rugby star Jason Robinson.
He said: "Hopefully, one day I will be able to play rugby for a living and represent my country."
