Curry came through the ranks at London Irish, making his debut against Sale, before going on to play nine more appearances for the Exiles as well as featuring in their A-League and 7s sides. 

Like Curry, Lewis Robling swapped Ealing Trailfinders for Goldington Road at the start of the season and has gone on to make 20 appearances scoring two tries, six conversion and seven penalties for the Blues. The 27-year-old also spent three years with Jersey Reds where he made 60 appearances in the league and cup having previously come through the ranks at the Dragons where he also played for Newport, Cross Keys and Bedwas as well as picking up International Honours with Wales Under 20s.

Scrum-half James Lennon, 21, is another product of the Blues Academy system.
