Like senior colleagues Ben White and Sam Lewis, second-rower Tom Manz came into the Leicester Tigers academy from Denstone College in Staffordshire before promotion to the club’s Development squad in 2019/20.

Tom was a member of the Under-18 League title-winning squad in 2018/19 and was called up to the England Under-18 squad during that campaign alongside his Denstone First XV colleague Joe Browning.
