Christine Adams, his mother, said: “From him saying he was going have the stoma to where he’s got to now is absolutely brilliant.
“I’m so pleased for him, he’s doing so well.”
Colostomy UK says about 200,000 people live with a stoma bag in the UK – around one in every 335 people.
“You do have to be careful playing a contact collision sport with a stoma, but there are little things that our players do to just make sure that they can play safely,” said team manager Giovanni Cinque.
“Some will wear a compression top, some will wear a support belt.”
Mr Adams uses social media to help others who are going through similar issues and wants to raise awareness of life with a stoma.
“It’s been absolutely brilliant for people to come on and message me and ask me little questions about stuff that they might be worried about,” he added.
“I’m really excited to see where it goes.”
