James Harrison is a professional rugby league footballer who plays as a second-row, prop or loose forward for the Warrington Wolves in the Super League.
Since 2019, when I was playing for Featherstone Rovers, I have been represented by Optimus. From the very beginning, I appreciated how Dave was straightforward and honest. He clearly explained where I would fit within his roster of clients. Dave’s approach is unique; he prefers to manage only a certain number of players in each position, ensuring that there is no conflict of interest during negotiation times.
Dave’s expertise was evident when he negotiated my first-ever Super League contract and my subsequent two contract extensions. He consistently keeps me updated on developments and is always available for advice, even on matters unrelated to rugby.
It was through Dave’s efforts that my name reached other Super League clubs, leading to my first full-time contract. This was a significant milestone in my career, and I owe it to Dave’s dedication and network.

I chose Optimus because I knew Dave would always be available at the other end of the phone. This level of accessibility and personal attention was crucial for me.
Before signing with Optimus, I aspired to go full-time and play in the Super League, but it wasn’t happening for me. Dave and Optimus made this a reality.
My experience with Optimus has been exceptional. Over the years, we have built a strong friendship, and I have never had a bad experience. Dave’s honesty with me and the clubs, coupled with his efficiency during negotiations, has always ensured quick and satisfactory outcomes.
