Background
Richard Lepori was born in St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. After the breakdown of his parents' marriage he moved with his mother to Chorley, Lancashire in 2001.
He attended Holy Cross RC High School where he was encouraged to play rugby, a sport he fell in love with.
His mother still lives in Chorley. He also has an older brother, Simon Lepori, who lives in Trafford, Greater Manchester, where he is a local councillor for the Liberal Democrats.
His half brother Dylan Lepori currently plays amateur rugby for Watford Rugby Club.
Playing career
Lepori was previously contracted to play in the academy teams of Salford City Reds, and later Castleford Tigers. He joined Oldham in the third-tier Championship 1 in 2013, before moving to Queensland, Australia the following year, playing for the Atherton Roosters in the Cairns District Rugby League. On 23 October 2014, it was announced that Lepori would be returning to England in 2015 to join Whitehaven in the second-tier Championship.[6] Lepori left the club in July 2015 after their signing of Louis Jouffret saw him receive no game time.[7] He rejoined recently promoted Oldham in the Championship, before joining the Sedgley Tigers, a rugby union club, in the fourth-tier National League 2 North. Lepori once again rejoined Oldham midseason in March 2017.[8] Lepori joined Rochdale Hornets in October 2017.
