He’s impressed on the wing in his first season at Societe Generale Valley and Hugo Chui Ho-ching says his star-studded band of teammates have helped take him to “another level”.

A long-time fixture in Hong Kong’s national age grade programmes, 21-year-old Chui is now focussing on his study after graduating from the under-20 programme.

He switched from Natixis HKFC to Valley ahead of this season and has become a key cog in a backline that will attempt to pick apart Herbert Smith Freehills HKCC in the Old Mutual International Men’s Premiership on Saturday.

“We obviously have a lot of experience in the team, players from the Hong Kong performance squad and even players from other countries who used to play Super Rugby and stuff like that,” Chui said.

“They can actually bring me to another level because they have a leading role and I get used to playing with them. I think I can perform better with them leading me and, of course, at the same time I can learn how to be a leader as well.”
