Player Profiles : Ulster Rugby 1st XV
Nevin Spence
Nevin first tasted professional rugby against the Ospreys in April 2010 after a string of brilliant performances for Ballynahinch in the AIL League.
The former Wallace High School pupil is a graduate of the Phoenix Academy and after making three appearances towards the end of the 2009/10 season, he came into his own in 2010/11.
The wing turned centre went from strength to strength and was one of the stand out performers as Ulster had one of their most successful seasons in years. His performances were recognised as he was called up to the Irish Wolfhounds squad in February 2011, earning two caps.
