STATEMENT: Leicester Tigers announce departure with immediate effect

#3. Kyle Hatherell from La Rochelle

Hatherell was born in South Africa and played his age-grade rugby for The Sharks in Durban before playing for Scottish club Marr RFC ahead of joining Jersey Reds in 2018.

The versatile forward, capable of playing in at lock and in the back-row, spent three seasons in Jersey before joining Worcester ahead of the 2021/22 campaign.

Hatherell said:

“I am absolutely delighted to be signing for Leicester Tigers. It is a club that I have always admired.”

“Having played at Mattioli Woods Welford Road and witnessed how passionate the crowd are, I can’t wait to show the Leicester fans how it will mean to me to put on the jersey.”
