About Dean Schofield
Born in Clayton, Manchester, in 1979, Dean Schofield is a product of Aldwinians RUFC: he played his early rugby at Audenshaw Park and scored twice for the club in the NPI Cup Final at Twickenham, a win over Dudley Kingswinsford.
A 6′6″ lock, he joined Sale Sharks in 2001 and spent the best part of a decade there, coming off the bench in the 2006 Premiership final as Sale won their first league title, and captaining the club in the 2009–10 season. He won two England caps in 2007, making his debut against South Africa on the summer tour before that year’s World Cup.
He went on to play for Toulon in France, then Worcester Warriors and London Welsh, before finishing his professional career with Yorkshire Carnegie.
How the day works
Matchday at Aldwinians RUFC is about more than what happens between the first and final whistle. On selected matchdays, our clubhouse serves a pre-match meal ahead of the afternoon’s fixture.
Arrive early, grab a seat, enjoy some food and club stories, raise a glass at the new Dean Schofield Bar, then head outside to support the rugby.
Advance booking is essential, so book your place early. Timings for the day will be confirmed closer to the date.
Come early. Eat well. Raise a glass. Watch the rugby. Aldwinians RUFC — more than a rugby club.
