“Leicester Tigers is a club with an incredible history and a loyal fanbase. I’m buzzing to get started, immerse myself in the culture, and learn from the talented squad.”
“New Zealand has been an amazing journey, but now feels like the right time for a fresh challenge. Northern Hemisphere rugby offers something different, and I’m excited to grow my game in a new environment. Ruby and I can’t wait to make the move.”
“James is a young, promising talent who’s already built an impressive CV in New Zealand, including Super Rugby experience. His ability to play across the pack gives us great flexibility.”
“Geoff Parling’s knowledge of Super Rugby was key—he identified James early on as a player who fits the Leicester Tigers mould.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome James and Ruby to the club this summer.”
