Triple celebration for Vesty

Figure image
Sam Vesty enjoyed a triple celebration on Saturday afternoon as he opened the scoring in a bonus-point victory over London Irish before being presented with a cap to mark to 100 starts for the club at the end of the match.

A product of the Tigers Academy, Vesty turned down the chance of a career in county cricket to become a professional rugby player and has since gone on to make 134 appearances in Tigers colours.

The 26-year-old utility back made his debut against Biarritz in the Orange Cup in August 2002 and earned his 100th first-team start for Leicester in the Heineken Cup match against Toulouse at Welford Road.
