Making his debut in 2002, Rock struggled to make an impact for Leeds, joining to Otley RUFC to enhance his first team opportunities.
Rock then joined National Division One club London Welsh before becoming director of rugby at Blaydon RFC, aged 24.
He has since retired from the rugby world and has joined the Royal Air Force Regiment as an officer.

Where is he now? The 25-year-old is in exactly in the same place but is now an established England international. He also shone during the British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand.
A centre by trade, Daly has managed to transition onto the wing under Eddie Jones, scoring a memorable winning try against Wales at the Principality Stadium during the Six Nations earlier this year.
One red card against Argentina last year is the only black mark on what has been a stellar career thus far.
