Career

Searle started playing junior rugby at Okehampton whilst at school at Okehampton College. He left Okehampton to start his senior career at nearby Launceston in the fourth division (National League 2 South). After impressing for Cornwall in their 2015 County Championship win he moved onto third division side Plymouth Albion. After one season in Plymouth Searle moved up to Premiership side Bristol to join their academy.

On 11 May 2018 Wasps announced Searle would join them that summer.

On 8 January 2020, Searle signs for Premiership rivals Worcester Warriors from the 2020-21 season. He has since signed a contract extension until the end of the 2022–23 season.

On 5 October 2022 all Worcester players had their contacts terminated due to the liquidation of the company to which they were contracted.

In October 2022, Searle and former Worcester teammate Jamie Shillcock joined Bath on short-term loan.
