Figure image
The shortlist for the Leicester Tigers Player of the Season awards has now been confirmed and voting is open to all supporters.

The winners will be announced at the Try Tuesdays Awards Night on April 29.

Following feedback from the Supporters Forum, we can now confirm the shortlist in four categories as well as announcing the creation of a new award for Fan of the Year.

Top try-scorer Vereniki Goneva, last year’s winner Julian Salvi, and forward trio Jamie Gibson, Ed Slater and Tom Youngs are nominated for the DX Player of the Year Award.

Back-rower Gibson also features in the nominations for Best Newcomer, and fly-half Owen Williams is shortlisted in two categories too.

Long-serving second-rower Louis Deacon is named alongside front-rowers Marcos Ayerza and Boris Stankovich, and club captain Toby Flood in the DX Outstanding Service Award category.

See below for the full shortlist.

The DX Try of the Season award is voted for only by Awards Night guests.

Awards Night is the most glittering evening of the season, in the company of the whole first-team squad and the coaching staff in the Premiership Suite at Welford Road. This event includes a three-course meal with a Tigers player at your table, interviews and highlights videos throughout the evening, and the presentation of the awards to the player and young players of the year, best newcomer and the player who has contributed outstanding service to the club.

More than 500 supporters attended last year’s end-of-season awards dinner at Welford Road, with Julian Salvi, Manu Tuilagi, Adam Thompstone and Martin Castrogiovanni receiving the main prizes.

Tickets for the Try Tuesdays Awards Night, sponsored by DX, are available now, price £45 per person for season ticket holders and £55 for all other supporters. Buy at the Tigers ticket office, phone us on 0844 856 1880 (option 2) or book online.
