Kyle Eastmond is a professional rugby union and former rugby league player who currently plays for Wasps. He previously played for St. Helens in Super League and internationally for England. Eastmond has been compared to Australian international Scott Prince, because of his darting runs to the line and a good kicking game. He has also got a keen eye for a gap in the defensive line.
Kyle attended the Parish Church CEVA School, Oldham and the Radclyffe School, Oldham.
Eastmond is the cousin of rugby league player Miles Greenwood. Kyle is also related to Sutton United's Craig Eastmond, who is his cousin. He has supported Manchester United since childhood.
During high school kyle Eastmond began his rugby career playing rugby league for Oldham St Annes but in 2007, Kyle Eastmond was promoted to training with the St. Helens first team squad.
In 2008, he was given the number 24 jersey and made a spectacular early impression in the traditional Good Friday fixture with Wigan, scoring a late try and a goal. He made 13 appearances in this season scoring 6 tries. He was then compared to Jason Robinson for his general attributes, and with his size finds it easy to duck under any oncoming opposition which helped him make 778m.
In 2009, Kyle became an influential player for the St. Helens side. He may have played one less game than in 2008, but he scored 8 tries, 30 goals (18 more than the previous year), 7 try assists, he gained 899m and made more clean breaks. Kyle capped off an impressive year in 2009 by scoring all of Saints' 10 points in the 2009 Super League Grand Final defeat to Leeds.
