Leicester Tigers have agreed terms with Dan Lancaster, allowing the 20-year-old an early release from his contract.
The fly-half made five appearances for Tigers this season, featuring in each of the club’s matches during the 21/22 Premiership Rugby Cup.
Prior to joining Tigers ahead of the 21/22 campaign, he represented hometown club Leeds Tykes and was a member of the Grand Slam winning England Under-20s squad in 2021.
Lancaster’s release from Leicester Tigers is effective immediately with the fly-half reportedly heading for Ealing.

Who are the best ‘cheaters’ in Rugby for the last 10 years?
Fans have been ranking who they consider the dirtiest players in the game over the past decade. In some cases it seems unpopularity saw them picked while other stars have been named and shamed for their thuggish actions on the field.
#5. Owen Farrell (England)
Could it be anybody else to start? Farrell fits the label “our guy” better than most, meaning you love to hate him unless he’s in your squad. Then you’d go to the end’s of the earth to defend him. The England captain, also known as ‘Shoulder boy’ for his high tackling, does himself no favours with his poor tackling technique. The fact he often seems to get away with it doesn’t help either.
