Adam Radwan facts: 5 Things to Know About The England Winger

The 23-year-old has shone over the past year, earning a call-up to the England squad for their July Tests in the process.

Radwan made his debut against Canada and scored a hat-trick to display his immense potential at international level.

Radwan was released from the Newcastle Falcons academy when he was 18 before getting a call to say they needed a winger for an 'A' League game against Leicester.

"I scored from about 80 metres out," Radwan recalls. "Then I was in the airport the next day to fly to Kenya to play sevens and I got a call off Dean [Richards], saying that when I came back he would like to have a chat. I signed for a season and now I’m in my fourth year. I love it."

Radwan has been one of the stars of the English game this season, wowing spectators with his electric pace for Newcastle Falcons. He is officially even quicker than team-mate Jonny May, making him the fastest weapon England have in their armoury.

He was clocked by England reaching a top speed of 10.85 metres per second, while training at Twickenham in the summer.

Radwan, the proud son of an Egyptian father from Port Said is Yorkshire born and bred but with an appreciation and pride in his Egyptian heritage.

Commenting on his background, Eddie Jones said: “We rolled the dice, brought him into camp and every week he has grown. He is a hard worker, a hard trainer, wants to learn. He is probably the first Egyptian that is going to play for England. What a great story. Terrific young lad.”

The speedster lives with his partner Mollie Macdonald and their adorable doggy Pabs. She studied Architecture and was awarded a masters by Newcastle University.

Radwan actually needs glasses, but wears contact lenses most of the time.
