From his very first steps in rugby at U9s, when a schoolmate introduced him to Mowden Park, Jonny Moffat has grown into one of the club’s most promising young talents. His journey through the age groups has been marked by leadership, determination, and a knack for delivering in the big moments.

Rising Through the Colts
Jonny currently serves as Vice Captain of the Colts, proudly wearing the armband twice last season. His ability to lead by example has already set him apart, showing maturity beyond his years.

Development Pathway
At U16s, Jonny was part of the Durham DPP set-up alongside teammate Josh Gratton, gaining valuable experience against some of the strongest young players in the region. This exposure helped sharpen his skills and fuel his ambition to master the scrum half role.

Senior Debut
Jonny’s progression continued as he stepped up to the 2nd XV during preseason warm-ups, before making his competitive debut against Tynedale. Each milestone has been a testament to his commitment and enthusiasm for the game.

Voice of the Scrum Half
Former coach Danny Brown once told Jonny he needed to be louder and cheekier at 9. Fast forward to today, and he’s become one of the most vocal presences on the pitch — a quality that has become one of his biggest assets.

Big Game Mentality
Jonny has a habit of popping up with scores when it matters most. Perhaps his most memorable moment came against Billingham at U16s, when he crossed in the final 30 seconds to secure a thrilling victory.

Looking Ahead
Jonny’s enthusiasm, determination, and drive to be the best continue to push him forward. Whether it’s leading the Colts, stepping into senior rugby, or producing match‑winning moments, he embodies the spirit of Mowden Park.

Keep an eye on Jonny — he’s a player who thrives on responsibility and rises to the big occasions.
