Ugo Monye's biography

At a glance

  • Former England international rugby player
  • Rugby broadcaster for TNT Sports, BBC & ITV
  • Chair of RFU Diversity and Inclusion Group
Ugo Monye is a former England international rugby player turned respected sports broadcaster and advocate for diversity and inclusion. After a decorated career at Harlequins, where he made over 240 appearances and scored 87 tries, Ugo went on to represent England and the British & Irish Lions, including a memorable length-of-the-field try against South Africa. His post-rugby career has seen a seamless transition into media, where he has become a respected voice across BBC, ITV and TNT Sports. He is known for his insightful commentary, engaging presentation style, and commitment to widening access to the game. He is a familiar face on programmes such as BBC’s Rugby Special and A Question of Sport, and is the co-host of the popular Rugby Union Weekly podcast on BBC Radio 5 Live. Beyond broadcasting, Ugo is a passionate advocate for representation and equity within sport. As Chair of the RFU’s Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Group and a trustee of the Women’s Sport Trust and Restart, he has been instrumental in driving conversations around cultural change, mental health and player support. In 2024, he was appointed the first patron of the Lord Wandsworth Foundation, a charity that supported him as a child and now helps bereaved and disadvantaged young people through education. Committed to using his platform for good, Ugo has backed a number of campaigns promoting social impact and access to sport. His profile and lived experience give him a unique voice at the intersection of sport, identity and wellbeing, making him a compelling contributor to discussions that go far beyond the pitch. Book Ugo for a rare combination of elite sports wisdom, media intelligence, and genuine passion for creating positive change in organisations and society.
