Career
Purdy was born in Crawley, West Sussex and attended The Judd School in Tonbridge. Following his A-levels, Purdy accepted an offer to study at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, where he completed his undergraduate degree. However, Purdy also signed a part-time contract as an academy player for Premiership side London Wasps, and combined his studies with training while at Cambridge. Purdy gained a Blue at Twickenham in 2000, when he became the youngest forward to represent Cambridge in The Varsity Match in over a decade.
Purdy signed a senior contract with Wasps in 2003 and made 51 appearances for them over the next 4 years before signing for Bath Rugby. After just a year at Bath, Purdy was signed by New Zealand side North Harbour in April 2008, alongside former Wasps team mate Dave Walder. Purdy has also played for L'Aquila, in Italy.
