David Denton is the winner of the first Lumbers Player of the Month Award of the season.
Back-rower Denton finished ahead of George Ford and Tommy Reffell in the supporters’ vote.
The Scotland international was announced as the winner during half-time of Tigers’ Gallagher Premiership game against Worcester Warriors on Sunday.
Supported by High Street jewellers Lumbers and voted for by Leicester Tigers supporters, the player of the month award recognises the contributions of individual players to the team cause throughout the campaign.
Each month during the season, fans will be asked to pick their top performer from a shortlist of three players put together by the Tigers coaching staff.
The player with the most votes on the Lumbers website will win the award, which will be presented on the Welford Road pitch during half-time of a big first-team fixture.
