Charlie, a member of the Gloucester Rugby Academy, made a dramatic impact on the first team squad in 2008-9.

He was set to represent England U20s against Wales but was recalled by the club and went on to make 9 first team appearances, scoring a memorable first senior try against Bath.

Was named in the England U20 squad for the Junior World Championship in Japan in June 2009 and kicked on to enjoy a memorable 2009-10 season for Gloucester. 

He scored 12 tries from 18 starts (including friendlies) and was shortlisted for Try of the Year at the Guinness Premiership Awards.

2010-11 went even better for Charlie as he scored 18 tries in 29 appearances, was voted Young Player of the Year by the supporters and was selected for England Saxons. 

Charlie was named in England's Rugby World Cup training squad in the summer, making his debut as a replacement against Wales and agreed a two year contract extension in July.

2011-12 was another fine campaign at club level with his try scoring tally in double figures once again and a first England start, in Paris against France.

Has since added to his England cap tally, and scored his first international try against Fiji in the autumn internationals, as well as cementing a place on the right wing for Gloucester.
