Capewell played his junior rugby league for Charleville and the Norths Ipswich Tigers. After playing some rugby union and being chosen to train with the Ipswich Jets in the Queensland Cup, he was signed by the Brisbane Broncos.
In December 2020, Capewell revealed that several years earlier, he had been involved in a pornographic film with another man (Capewell believed the other person to be a woman) where he performed a sexual act. Capewell, who at the time was 20 years old and playing for the Ipswich Jets, was taking part in a photo-shoot for a sports clothing and underwear company before it turned to nude photos then an adult movie. Capewell reflected on the incident saying "The organiser used inducements and extra money for being involved in the adult film. I take full responsibility for what happened".
