A Leicester Tigers academy graduate, Harry Wells returned to the club as a senior player for the 2016/17 season with valuable experience gained over two seasons in Championship rugby with Bedford Blues.

After joining the Tigers academy from school in Peterborough, Harry made his first-team debut as a replacement in an Anglo-Welsh Cup win over Wasps in 2012/13 and added to his experience in spells with Nottingham and Loughborough Students as well as at Bedford.

He spent the final month of the 2012/13 campaign in France with the Clermont Auvergne academy as part of a club exchange and then shared in World Junior Championships victory for England Under-20s alongside Tigers colleagues Tom Price and Henry Purdy.

Wells, who can play at lock or flanker, was also part of the Tigers squad that reached the finals of the Premiership Sevens in 2013 and played in every game in the successful Anglo-Welsh Cup campaign in 2016/17 before agreeing a new contract at the club and firmly establishing himself in the senior squad.

His 29 appearances during 2018/19 was the highest by any member of the first-team squad.

Wells has remained a consistent performer for Tigers, reaching 200 games for Tigers in the 2024/25 season. He earned his senior England debut against Canada in 2021, and came on as a substitute in the 2022 Gallagher Premiership final.
