KIERAN WILKINSON
The 23-year-old fly-half joins Tigers from Sale Sharks
Wilkinson rose through the Sale ranks while attending Kirkham Grammar School in Lancashire, who boast an impressive alumni list including former Leicester Tigers player and Head Coach Richard Wigglesworth.
During a decorated age-grade career, he represented England at Under-16, Under-18 and Under-20s, with the latter seeing him feature alongside now club mates Nic Dolly, Ollie Hassell-Collins and Joe Heyes in the 2018/19 England Under-20s squad.
Wilkinson made 22 appearances for Sale in all competitions since his senior debut in 2018.
Speaking about the signing, Leicester Tigers Head Coach Dan McKellar said: “It is great to be able to confirm Kieran’s signing with the club from next season, which will see him boost our fly-half ranks alongside Charlie Atkinson and Handrè Pollard.”
“While still very much a young man, Kieran has already got a great amount of senior experience in the English game and is a player with potential.”
“We are confident that he will be able to take his game to the next level as part of Leicester Tigers and looking forward to helping him continue to develop his game.”
