[edit] Early years

Born to a New Zealand/Samoan father and New Zealand Maori mother, Bentley lived in Auckland before later moving to France, where his father played for La Réole XIII.

[edit] Playing career

His senior league started at Marseilles then UTC. In 2007, he gained promotion to the Dragons first team squad alongside his brother Andrew. He has represented France at junior level for a number of years.

On the field, he is said to be very talented in attack as well as in defence and even though he presently plays hooker for the Dragons, most of his junior league was in the five-eight position.

[edit] Representative career

Bentley was also eligible for Scotland but he was snubbed for the European Cup and instead opted to play for France.^[2]
