Jack Lavin (born 1992) is an English rugby union player who is currently at Esher in National League 1 having signed from Caldy for the 2017-18 season. He plays at Fly-half or Inside Centre and is an excellent points kicker who can also score tries. As well as playing club rugby he has represented Cheshire in the county championships, finishing as runners up in 2016, as well as being capped by England Counties XV.
Growing up in the Wirral, Lavin attended Calday Grange Grammar School in the town of West Kirby. While still attending school he played men's senior rugby union with Hoylake, featuring prominently for the club during the 2009–10 season when they finished 10th in South Lancs/Cheshire 1 – a northern regional league. His performances for Hoylake saw him come to the attention of two higher ranked clubs in the area – Birkenhead Park and Caldy. After playing several pre-season games with Caldy during the summer of 2010 he decided to sign for Birkenhead Park instead as he felt he was more likely to get first team action as Park were one division below Caldy in National League 3 North.
Lavin started the 2010–11 season playing for Birkenhead Park's second team – the Wanderers. After impressing for the Wanderers he made his first team debut on 25 September 2010, scoring 10 points in a 20–11 victory away to Penrith. Several months later he scored his first try for his new club in a 27–24 victory away to Billingham in a league match. Lavin would go on to feature regularly for Birkenhead Park as they finished in 6th place in National League 3 North. While at Birkenhead Park he was also selected to play for the Cheshire under-20 county side.
