Leicester Tigers confirm their NINE leavers, including England legends son

Seven members of the Senior Squad will leave Leicester, while two Senior Academy players will also depart.

The departures are:

Rowntree, who was an Under-18 League winner with Tigers, did not make a senior appearance during his time in the Senior Academy.

Law, who made his senior debut while still a member of the academy programme in 2019, has made five appearances for Tigers. The scrum-half has signed for Championship club Jersey Reds for next season.

Aspland-Robinson, who spent this season on loan with Championship club Coventry Rugby, made 14 appearances in four seasons at the club.

Genge, who initially made the move to Leicester on loan during the 2015/16 campaign, leaves after making 111 appearances and having captained the club to the 21/22 Gallagher Premiership title.

In two stints at Tigers, Ford made 129 appearances and scored 1,256 points - featuring in two Premiership title winning campaigns.

Moroni, who joined Tigers ahead of the 2020/21 season, made 36 appearances since debuting in a European Challenge Cup victory over Brive at Mattioli Woods Welford Road in December 2020 and will join Newcastle Falcons next season.

Socino, who joined from Saracens at the beginning of the current campaign, leaves Leicester having made nine appearances in his lone season at the club.

van Staden made eight appearances for the club after arriving during the opening months of the 21/22 campaign after Test appearances for South Africa in the 2021 Rugby Championship. The South African's departure comes after agreeing an early departure to continue injury rehabilitation in his home nation.

Taute, who moved from Munster to Leicester ahead of the 2019/20 season, has retired from professional rugby. The South African international made 19 appearances in three seasons at the club.
