William Cliff (born 17 October 1988) is an English former rugby union player. His position was scrum-half and he made the majority of his career appearances at Sale Sharks.
Career
Cliff came through the academy of Sale Sharks and made his senior club debut in 2007.[1][2] In April 2008 he scored his first try for Sale during their 49–24 win over CA Brive in the EPCR Challenge Cup quarter-final.[3] Later that month he featured in their semi-final elimination against Bath.[4]
Cliff joined Glasgow Warriors in 2010 with a view to getting a loan deal with the club but registration problems meant that the deal fell through and he returned to Sale.[5] He spent the 2011–12 RFU Championship campaign with Yorkshire Carnegie.[6]
After making 113 appearance in his first spell at the club, Cliff left Sale to join Bristol Bears in 2015.[2][6] In his first season he scored a try in the 2015–16 RFU Championship play-off final against Doncaster Knights which Bristol won to seal promotion to the top flight.[7]
After two seasons with Bristol, Cliff returned to Sale in 2017.[1] He started in the 2019–20 Premiership Rugby Cup final which saw Sale beat Harlequins to win their first silverware for fourteen years.[8] In 2023 it was announced that Cliff had retired.[9]
