Leicester Tigers press release on Finn Theobald-Thomas

Leicester Tigers can confirm the sad news that Finn Theobald-Thomas has been forced to retire from rugby with immediate effect on medical grounds.

The 23-year-old hooker joined Tigers ahead of the 2023-24 season and made 33 appearances in Tigers colours.

Both the Rugby Players Association and Leicester Tigers will continue to support Finn as he begins the transition into retirement.

Tigers Head Coach Geoff Parling commented, "I’m gutted with this news of Finn’s retirement from rugby, both from a team point of view and for him personally to have such a promising rugby journey cut short."

"He is a loveable bloke who is exactly the type of character you’d want to be around, unselfish and fully invested in the team. We’ll miss him and he knows that he’ll always be part of this team."
