Fred Tuilagi

Fred Tuilagi (born 9 June 1997) is a rugby union player for Bedford Blues in the English RFU Championship. He previously played for AS Bédarrides and Leicester Tigers in Premiership Rugby. Tuilagi is the son of former Leicester and St Helens winger Freddie Tuilagi and is the second generation of the Tuilagi family to play professional rugby. He primarily plays at Number 8 but can play at Blindside flanker if required.

He is eligible for both England and Samoa but has played for neither team at any level. He was named in the Samoa squad for the 2024 July International Tests.

Career Youth As a youth he played for Hinckley RFC, where his uncle Manu played too, and was a prop originally before being switched to the backrow when he came through the Tigers Academy. His older brother, Brian, was an academy graduate but moved to the Saracens Development team and now plays for US Dax. Tuilagi originally played prop before moving to back row in his later teens.

Leicester He made his senior debut for the Leicester Tigers on 4 November 2016 when he came on as a substitute in the 20-21 victory over Bath at the Recreation Ground, and made his official debut later that year, although that was his single appearance that season, being used in the A League and being loaned to Coventry R.F.C. He was on his way out but new head coach Matt O'Connor convinced him to stay, stating that he has the potential to be as devastating as his uncle Henry.
