He had rejoined the Saints after a season with the London Blitz in Great Britain’s Premiership during which time he was named to the Great Britain national team. He had originally started playing football for Durham while studying for his Physics Degree.

He attended the Milano Seamen Combine in Italy and posted the following impressive results:

Prague Lions head coach Zach Harrod:

“After lots of work, including speaking with several coaches from the UK, we are excited to sign Eden. The consensus was that he catches everything, blocks like a tackle and is hungry to prove himself. This is exactly what we want to add to our team! On top of this his humility and character are evident.”
