Player Profile from Match Day Programme. (2002/03 season)

Terry Sigley, a summer signing from Moseley, made his mark prior to his move, through his selection for the English Counties summer tour of Chile. If this was a statement of his intent for the future then big things lie ahead for this new tighthead.

Starting in the sport from an early age, encouraged by his headmaster at Longwood School in Tamworth, Terry has enjoyed spells in Leicester's Academy, Moseley and now Birmingham & Solihull.  Although he spent much of his school years playing football, he picked up rugby again at the age of 15 and followed his elder brother, Rob, to Leicester.

Terry was one of many summer signings, spurred on by the uncertainty over Moseley's future and the opportunity to take up the broader role of Development Officer for The Bees.  This is not something that he is a stranger to, however, having spent two of his four years at Moseley undertaking similar work in schools around the Birmingham area.

With every player's career there are a number of highlights and lowlights and Terry is no exception.  Whilst playing for Moseley, he suffered a major collarbone break which threatened to put him out of the game for some time, however, he quickly bounced back and reached his high of being selected for the aforementioned tour to Chile this past summer.

The English Counties was heralded as a great success, not least by the IRB, who saw it as leading the way in helping emerging nations raise the profile of rugby.  With a 4-day pre-tour camp at RAF Cosford, the squad of 26 players (also including Mike Davis and Lee Fortey) embarked in a two-week tour of Chile.  Despite many foregoing their summer holidays, Terry included, the trip to Chile was a "full on" international tour.

With little time for socialising and sight-seeing, the squad played two regional sides, culminating with a "test" against Chile national team.  This was played in the new national stadium, with the England side coming away 33 - 21 winners.  And whilst many of us may think that the sport doesn't get coverage in such countries, at every fixture the stadiums were full to capacity.

Terry isn't anticipating resting on his laurels and sees the pinnacle of every players career as being the opportunity to play in the premiership and ultimately for their country. 

Outside rugby, Terry still spends much of his time in a sporting environment with Golf and Football high up on his list.  But as to suggestions of a future in the acting profession, following what was thankfully only a cameo role in the recent Spearmint Rhino TV and Press launch, there is a resounding no!
