Alex Cheesman chose a professional sporting career over a career in the Geographical field. His time at university has help establish his ethics towards training and he has family support in his chosen field. His coaches during his rugby career include, Steve Hill and Brain Ashton, whilst also having the privilege and the learning opportunity to play and train alongside international players at the Sale Sharks. His rugby during his university days saw him playing for Oxford against the old rival Cambridge where he was matched against the likes of Ben Maidment.
His physical development was important as switching from centre to flank was not an easy decision, although still capable of playing in the centre position. The experience Alex has had through his career is well fermented in his experience and work ethic on the field. Alex will be representing Cornish Pirates in the 2016/17 season as he has been doing since 2012.
