Nic Dolly

A combative front-row forward, Nic Dolly built his reputation as a hard-working hooker before joining the Western Force. Born on 11 June 1999, he is known for his high work rate, strong carrying and effectiveness at the breakdown, qualities that earned him a rapid rise during his time in English club rugby with Leicester Tigers. Dolly's form there was rewarded with an international call-up in 2021, a notable acknowledgement of his impact in a short space of time. His core set-piece duties are underpinned by an appetite for the physical exchanges, and he regularly makes his presence felt in the tight phases and around the ruck. At the Western Force he adds experience and competitive edge to the forward unit, providing reliable depth and a willingness to take on the heavy lifting up front. Mobile for a forward, he links into wider play and supports his side's defensive and counter-rucking efforts. Dependable and tireless, Dolly is the type of grafting forward whose value is measured as much in the unseen work as in the moments that make the highlight reels.
