Jason Robinson OBE is one of the most accomplished and recognisable figures in British rugby, having reached the top in both rugby league and rugby union. His career includes three World Cup finals, scoring England’s only try in the 2003 Rugby Union World Cup Final, and making history as the first Black British man to captain the England rugby team. His speed, agility and trademark side-step earned him a reputation as one of the most formidable players in either code.
Growing up in a deprived part of Leeds, Jason overcame significant personal challenges to forge his path to the pinnacle of world sport. Talent spotted while playing for Hunslet Boys Club, he began his professional career with Wigan in rugby league, scoring 171 tries in 281 games and representing England, Great Britain and the British Lions. In 2000, he switched to rugby union with Sale Sharks, where he played 159 games, scored 248 points, and captained the side during one of the most successful periods in the club’s history. His England career included 51 caps, 28 tries and a leadership role that cemented his legacy.
Recognised with an MBE in 2003 and an OBE in 2008 for his services to rugby, Jason’s influence extends far beyond the pitch. Motivated to give back, he founded the Jason Robinson Foundation to help young people realise their potential through sport and positive mentorship. The foundation works with inspirational coaches and volunteers to support young people nationwide.
Jason’s personal journey from one of the most deprived areas in the UK to World Cup glory shapes his message of resilience, equality and opportunity. Through his speaking work and foundation, he inspires others to believe that, with the right guidance and support, extraordinary achievements are possible.
