Tigers' educational welfare officer Mike Harrison will be live on BBC Radio Leicester's Rugby Hour, which is on air between 6-7pm on 104.5 FM on Wednesday evening. Mike is likely to be live at just gone 6.30, when he will be talking about the role you can play in the success of Leiester Tigers.

The academy have now recruited a new crop of players, aged 16, who will join the club in the summer to begin their quest for success in the professional game. Several have homes away from Leicester and we need to find lodgings for them locally. The academy is now seeking interested households, who would be prepared to provide a room and meals for one or more of these players, for next season. While in Leicester, the players will continue their academic education and attend the academy.

If you are interested in helping us in this way, we are very keen to hear from you, so please get in touch. There are two contacts at the academy at Oval Park who are standing by to provide more details: Mike Harrison our academy education and welfare officer and Teresa Chester, the academy administrator who can be contacted on (0116) 2171325.
