As Leicester Tigers celebrate 25 years of the Prima Tiger Cup – the biggest single-age group festival of its kind – Leicester Tigers TV chatted to Sam Harrison about his memories of playing for Hinckley at Welford Road, as well as the important role it can play in a young player’s development.
“It was one of my first really memorable experiences of playing rugby.”
Tigers scrum half Sam Harrison has made more than 150 appearances for Leicester Tigers since making his debut for the club during the 2008/09 season.
A product of the prestigious Tigers Academy, Sam first fell in love with the game playing for his local team Hinckley RFC and, as an under-10 player, was lucky enough to feature in a Prima Tiger Cup festival at Welford Road.
