Max Lahiff (born 9 December 1989) is an English rugby union footballer who plays as a loosehead prop for the Bath Rugby in the Aviva Premiership.

Early life

Lahiff was born in London and was educated at Papplewick School[1] in Ascot followed by Wellington College[2] Berkshire where he won the Under 18 Daily Mail Cup. He had spells with London Welsh and the London Irish Academy as a youngster.[3]

Career

He made his senior debut for London Irish against London Wasps in 2009 and made a total of 78 appearances in his 4 years playing for the Exiles. During this time he gained a reputation for strong scrummaging and a physically imposing style of play.[3][4]

It was announced that he would leave Irish at the end of the 2012–13 season and link up with the Melbourne Rebels ahead of their 2014 Super Rugby campaign. He also spent a season playing ITM Cup rugby in New Zealand for the Hawke's Bay Magpies.[5][6][7]

Lahiff qualifies to play international rugby for Australia through his father.[8][9]

On the 30th January 2015, Bath Rugby confirmed the signing of Lahiff with immediate effect.[10] Rejoining Toby Booth and Neal Hatley, who were coaches at London Irish during his spell there, Lahiff was named in the squad to play Harlequins in the LV= Cup the next day.[11]
