Ronald Martin McLean-Dents (born June 5, 1985) is a British-American rugby union player.
McLean was born in Burbank, California and moved to Coventry, England, aged six.[1] His grandfather was the renowned Coventry RFC prop Mike McLean and he played his early rugby for the same club to continue the family association.[2] He crossed to West Midlands rival Birmingham & Solihull in 2009.[3]
A centre, McLean received a call up to the United States national team in 2014, while playing his rugby for third-tier English club Ealing Trailfinders. He made his only capped appearance in a Test match against Fiji in Vannes, France, which he played out of position as a fullback and kicked two conversions in a 14–20 loss.[4]
