Jonathan Sexton, is a rugby union player for Ireland and Leinster Rugby in the Celtic League and Heineken Cup. Sexton is a nephew of former Garryowen, Munster and Ireland rugby player William Sexton. Sexton born in Dublin also has strong family ties to North Kerry.
Sexton is registered to St. Mary's College RFC who play in AIB League Division 1. Sexton plays as Fly-half but has played several different positions in the back-line. He attended St. Marys college in Dublin and scored a drop goal in the dying moments of St. Marys' 2002 Leinster Senior Cup final win.
In May 2012 former Ireland and Leinster great Ollie Campbell stated before Leinster's unprecedented 3rd European Cup in four years that Sexton is a class act with hardly any weaknesses, and that during Leinster's rise to the summit of European rugby the only significant Heineken Cup defeat over the last four seasons occurred when Jonathan Sexton was not playing.
