Jerry is a highly mobile prop who has worked hard to make it into the professional game. He made his senior debut against Munster in October 2010 at the age of 26 after a number of good seasons with Ballynahinch.
He went on to make 11 appearances in that season and earned his first start against Connacht in the final Magners League game of the regular season. He consistently held his own in the scrum and his high tackle count was a big plus for his side in important matches.
