Leicester Tigers have agreed a new deal with outside-back Harry Potter.

The 24-year-old has made 27 senior appearances for the club since debuting in 2020 after joining Tigers from Australian Super Rugby side, Melbourne Rebels.

Potter has scored nine tries for Tigers, including five so far in the 21/22 campaign.

Discussing his decision to extend his time at the club, Potter said: “This is a great club, there is a really good environment building and I believe we are on a really good trajectory.

“I am really excited to be extending my time here and continuing to play a part in this journey for a little while longer.”

The English-born Potter admitted agreeing to his new deal came down to a combination of continuing to be work with his team-mates, under the coaching team and for the fans.

“Working with Steve [Borthwick] and this coaching group has been great,” he said.

“Where we are now, after what was a tough first few seasons together as a group, is a result of his hard work and leadership.

“No matter who goes out on the field, there are players putting their best foot forward and giving everything for the club.

“I’ve only been able to fully experience the part our fans play in this club properly this season and it has just been unbelievable, the level of support and noise they create behind us.

“Tigers fans are unbelievable, they are most definitely a reason for me to being staying at Leicester Tigers.”

Speaking about Potter, Leicester Tigers Head Coach Steve Borthwick said: “Harry was one of those players who joined the club during the pandemic and, since arriving at Leicester Tigers, has played an integral role in the re-shaping of this team.

“The way he has developed his game since he arrived, adding different facets to his game, has been fantastic to see.

“Among many things, Harry is brilliant in the air and an excellent finisher but also has a huge potential for growth in his game and is sensational that he wants to continue that at Tigers.”
