Nishon, who represented St. Peter’s College, was a standout at the centre position for the school and was later handpicked for the Sri Lanka under 20 sevens team that won the Asia Under 20 series in 2016.

Later Nishon was also included in the national sevens squad and has been a promising sevens player in the extended squad.

CH & FC have been the busiest team in this Dialog Rugby League off season, enlisting several new players. Key players from Havelock Sports Club, Hirantha Perera and Sudam Sooriyarachchi have also switched to the CH ahead of the season.
