From a farming family in Norfolk, Jack van Poortvliet attended Tigers Rugby Camps at North Walsham RFC before joining the club’s developing player programme and then entering the academy system.
Originally a fly-half, Jack moved to scrumhalf and played in back-to-back Under-18 League title-winning squads with Tigers in 2017/18 and 2018/19.
The 2018/19 campaign also featured a first experience of senior rugby in the Premiership Shield and appearances for England Under-18s for the Oakham School student.
He made his senior debut for the club at the start of 2019/20 and a first Premiership start at Sale Sharks before his 19th birthday among five first-team appearances in that campaign. He also captained England U20 to a grand slam.
Van poortvliet’s career kicked on in the following seasons where he made 43 combined appearances for Tigers, and earned his first England cap in the Summer of 2022, scoring a try against Australia on debut.
Injury robbed him of a spot at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, but JVP has been back to his best in 2024/25, and has re-signed with the club past the current campaign.
