Education
Ovens was educated at the Prep School of Monkton Combe School,[3] a boarding independent school for pupils up to the age of 13 in Combe Down, a village suburb of the city of Bath in Somerset in South West England, followed by Milton Abbey School,[4][5] a boarding independent school in the village of Milton Abbas, near the market town of Blandford Forum in Dorset (also in South West England).
Rugby career
In 2008, he joined Bath, but enjoyed a spell on loan to Bristol in the 2011 Aviva Championship season, returning to Bath for the start of the 2012 season. Ovens re-signed with Bristol on a one-year deal, after the club facilitated his rehabilitation by allowing him to train with the squad, almost two years after recovering from a potentially career-ending back injury in 2012. Ovens returned to the field against Clifton RFC in August 2014, for the annual pre-season friendly between the two sides.[6]
Family
Ovens' first cousin is Laurence Ovens.
