David Seymour (born 27 September 1984 ) is a rugby union player who plays as a flanker for Sale Sharks and England Sevens. He formerly played for Chinnor Rugby Club and Saracens. He was born in High Wycombe.
Seymour joined Saracens on a full-time academy contract at the start of the 2004–05 season. But after only a few weeks of pre-season training, he was promoted to the first team squad and made his first full appearance as a replacement for Richard Hill.
He established himself as a regular in the first team and made his debut at England under-21 level in both the Six Nations and World Championships in Argentina.[2] Further international honours have followed, Seymour having played for England 7s in the IRB Series in Dubai, Los Angeles and Hong Kong and claiming a silver medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.[3] Seymour was called up to the England Saxons squad for the Churchill Cup in Canada.[4]
Seymour started 13 games for Saracens in the 2007–08 season and appeared as a replacement 11 times.[5] A knee injury at the start of the 2008–09 season restricted his appearances in the early stages of the season.[6]
On 26 June 2009, after being released by Saracens, Sale Sharks announced that they had signed Seymour on their official website.[7]
