West worked his way through Wasps’ Junior Academy while a pupil at Radley College prior to joining the Senior Academy in 2015.[2]

West made his wasps debut in an Anglo-welsh cup game at Sale, and his premiership debut at home to Saracens in January 2018. [3]

Despite making his senior debut for Wasps nearly in the 2017/18 season, West would spend the best part of two seasons on loan at Championship side Nottingham, making only 12 first team appearances across three seasons heading into the 2019/20 campaign.[4]

West received a call up to the England International Squad,[5] before the 2021 Six Nations, after England Prop Joe Marler, withdrew from the group for family reasons.
