Tigers confirm George Martin departure

Leicester Tigers today confirmed that lock George Martin will leave the club at the end of the season.

Martin made his senior debut in September 2019 and has made 73 appearances for Tigers, scoring nine tries, as well as winning 21 England caps. He was part of the Tigers' team that lifted the Gallagher PREM title in 2022.

The 24 year-old is currently recovering from a shoulder injury with the aim of returning to action later this season.

Head Coach Geoff Parling said: “We would have liked George to stay with the club as he’s a top-quality player developed through our academy alongside many of the current team. 

"While we offered George a competitive deal to remain with Tigers, he has chosen a different direction for the next stage of his career. We thank him for his time with us and wish him well.”
