We’re delighted to confirm that club captain Ethan Godefroy has re-signed for the upcoming season.

Speaking after putting pen to paper, Ethan said:

β€œEcstatic to have signed for another year with the club that’s given me everything. Plenty of change, but I’m excited to reset and get back to winning ways!”

A leader on and off the field, Ethan’s commitment provides a huge boost as the club looks ahead to a new chapter.

After four years at Leicester Lions, Forwards Coach George Richardson will be departing the club.

πŸ—£οΈGeorge said:
β€œI have had an incredible time at Leicester Lions over the last 4 years whilst spending 3 of those years in national 1. I’ve worked with some incredibly talented players and coaches but the special thing for me about Lions is the family club ethos. Although I’m moving on, Leicester Lions will always have a special place in my heart and I look forward to see the club going from strength to strength under the hands of Tom and Arron.”

Everyone at Leicester Lions thanks George for his commitment and wishes him all the best for the future πŸ’œ

We’re delighted to welcome Arron Skyrme to Leicester Lions as our new Forwards Coach ahead of the upcoming season.

Arron joins us from Coventry Rugby where he is Junior Academy Manager, bringing a wealth of experience from his time with Nuneaton, Wasps, Worcester Warriors, Bath and Warwick School.

With a strong background across both playing and coaching, we’re excited to see the impact he’ll bring to the squad.

πŸ—£οΈ β€œDelighted to be joining Leicester Lions as Forwards Coach for the new season.
It’s an exciting time to join the club and be part of a new project. With the strong core of players the club has retained, along with new additions coming in, there’s a lot to look forward to.
I’m excited to work with the group and help the players continue to develop and perform over the next few seasons.
Can’t wait to get started and looking forward to pre-season already.”

BIG NEWS AT LEICESTER LIONS πŸ”₯

We are proud to welcome our new Head Coach - Tom Varndell!

A former England international and one of Premiership Rugby’s all-time leading try scorers, Tom enjoyed an exceptional playing career with clubs including Leicester Tigers, Wasps, and Bristol Bears.

β€œI’m really excited to be joining Leicester Lions and looking forward to the challenge of next season.

There’s a lot to build towards and I’m eager to get started.”

After 20 incredible years at the club, the time has come to say goodbye to a true Leicester Lions legend Gareth Collins.

From scoring 145 tries to leading the squad to the National 2 West title as Head Coach, Gaz has left an unforgettable mark on everyone connected with the club. His passion, commitment, leadership, and loyalty have helped shape the culture and success of Leicester Lions both on and off the pitch.

Whether wearing the shirt or guiding the team from the sidelines, Gaz always gave everything for the badge. Two decades of dedication.

Everyone at the club would like to thank Gaz for everything he has done over the last 20 years and wish him all the best for the future.

Once a Lion, always a Lion πŸ¦πŸ’œ
