Leicester Tigers make move for winger tipped to be ‘future England star’

Reports coming out of Leicester suggest that London Irish speedster Ollie Hassell-Collins was spotted arriving at the Tigers training ground to discuss a possible move.

The 23-year-old speedster, who has scored six tries in the Premiership so far this season, has been tipped to be a potential England superstar.

Hassell-Collins started to play rugby as a child at local club Newbury R.F.C. where he was coached by his father prior to joining the academy of London Irish at the age of sixteen

In June 2021 Hassell-Collins received his first call-up by coach Eddie Jones to the senior squad for a training camp and was later called up to the squad again for the 2022 Six Nations Championship. Nevertheless, he still hasn’t won a senior cap.

This would be the second time in two seasons that Tigers have poached young talent from the Exiles having signed Phil Cokasiga last summer.
