William Magie (born 23 February 1992) is an English-born American former rugby union player who last played fly-half for the Austin Gilgronis in Major League Rugby.
He previously played for London Scottish F.C. in the RFU Championship.
Early career
[edit]During his school years, Magie captained the University of Leeds rugby team.[1] Magie also led the United States national under-20 rugby union team to the IRB Junior World Rugby Trophy in 2012.
Professional rugby career
[edit]Magie signed his first professional contract in 2013 with the Ealing Trailfinders in the English Championship, England's second division.[2] However, he saw little playing time with Ealing during the 2013–14 season.[3]
Magie signed with the Denver Stampede in early 2016 in the newly-formed PRO Rugby competition. Magie slotted the winning penalty kick to give Denver a 16–13 win over the Ohio Aviators in PRO Rugby's first ever match,[4] a feat for which one magazine named Magie as PRO Rugby's player of the week for the competition's inaugural week.[5]
In 2018, Magie signed with the Glendale Raptors for the inaugural season of Major League Rugby (MLR). By the end of game week 5, Magie was the second-highest points scorer in the league, with a total of 47 points in his first 4 games.
