Ben Mercer is a former rugby player turned writer. His rugby career took him from the UK to Australia, back to the UK and then on to France where he spent 4 years at Stade Rouennais before hanging up his boots.Despite his seemingly monomaniacal interest in rugby, Ben took the time to get an English degree from Newcastle University and reading was his first love, predating his sporting endeavours. He likes to consider himself a scholar athlete, but this could be really wishful thinking.Fringes was his first book. It became a #1 Amazon Bestseller and was nominated for William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2020. His second book Our Race, a collaboration with the Great Britain 4x100m team from Athens 2004 and author Trystan Bevan, is out now.
