Encyclopedia
Warren Fury is a Wales
international rugby union
player. He currently plays club rugby for Leeds Carnegie in the Guinness Premiership
.
A product of the Wasps Academy, he first came to attention in the 2004–05 season with a number of fine performances for the first team, not least in a friendly match against Western Stormers. Fury made a positive impact in his first year at the Wasps Academy. He made his debut for the 1st XV against Bath in January, aged just 19, and playing on the big stage did not daunt him as he went on to appear as a replacement in the Zurich Premiership semi and final. Fury missed three months in the early season through injury, making his rapid progress even more remarkable. This prompted the coaches' decision to send him to New Zealand for the summer where he gained more match time and experience playing for Auckland team, Suburbs.
Fury was included in the 2005 Grand Slam winning Welsh squad that season but unfortunately was unable to take up this place due to injury. The early part of his career was blighted by injury which saw him briefly loaned to London Welsh to regain match fitness whilst at Wasps.
Following his return to fitness he transferred to London Irish in 2007 in search of regular first team action which culminated in him winning 2 caps for Wales on the 2008 tour of South Africa. During the 2009 Six Nations campaign Fury was once again called into the Wales squad as scrum half cover.
On 19 May 2009 it was announced he would re-sign for Wasps. In July 2010 Fury joined Leeds Carnegie.
Shaun Edwards
described Wales' scrum-half rookie Fury as "one of the toughest kids I have ever coached".
