Career
Frustrated by the lack of opportunity in Perth due to their plethora of quality backline players, he has taken up a contract with the Queensland Reds for 2008 and is currently playing for the East Coast Aces in the Australian Rugby Championship in its inaugural year. He is the brother of NRL player Nathan Stapleton
Stapleton is 190 cm and weighs 90 kg. He plays on the wing and is known for his blistering pace.
He has a PB for the 100m sprint of 10.2s In the QLD Global Positioning System athletics championships in 2005 he ran 10.69 (with the record being 1068) but unluckley pulled his hamstring 5m from the finish line and dived over instead.
