David Seymour (born 27 September 1984) is a rugby union player who plays as a flanker for Sale Sharks and England Sevens. He formerly played for Chinnor Rugby Club and Saracens F.C..
Seymour joined Saracens on a full-time academy contract at the start of the 2004/05 season. But after only a few weeks of pre-season training, he was promoted to the first team squad and made his first full appearance as a replacement for Richard Hill.
He established himself as a regular in the first team and made his debut at England U21 level in both the Six Nations and World Championships in Argentina. Further international honours have followed, Seymour having played for England 7s in the IRB Series in Dubai, Los Angeles and Hong Kong and claiming a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne in 2006. Seymour was called up to the England Saxons squad for the Churchill Cup in Canada.
Seymour started 13 games for Saracens in the 2007/08 season and appeared as a replacement 11 times [1]. A knee injury at the start of the 2008/09 season restricted his appearances in the early stages of the season [2].
On 26th June 2009, after being released by Saracens, Sale Sharks announced that they had signed Seymour on their official website[3].
