Ellie Smith has been called up to the England Under-20s squad ahead of a training camp at Loughborough University.
Having first been called up in January this year, the prop has the opportunity to earn her first national age-grade cap at this July's Six Nations Women’s Summer Series.
A product of the club's pathway programme, Smith's talent was first identified at Lichfield Ladies and signed with Leicester Tigers ahead of 2024/25.
In her debut season as a Leicester Tigers player, Smith made seven appearances.
