Natasha Jones (Fly-half / Centre)

Getting to know me

Started playing rugby at Leicester Forest East when I was 8 years old with the boys. Then when I was 12 I joined the girls' team who collaborated with Nottingham Paviors. I was selected into the HPA (High Performance Academy) at 16 when I was then spotted by the Lichfield Ladies coach. He invited me to join and from then I trained with the ladies' team until I was allowed to do contact at the age of 18. I played for Lichfield Ladies in the Premiership and I was selected into England U20s for 2 years where we won the Nations Cup in California, USA 2011. I also represented England A against Canada multiple times too. When the news of Lichfield Ladies were unsuccessful in their bid for the Premier 15s I made the hard decision to leave and join Loughborough Lightning to continue playing in the highest competition possible in England. I played for Lightning for 3 years and recently joined back with Lichfield Ladies once I heard of the opportunity of the formation of Leicester Tigers Women. I recently represented Leicestershire County and won in the final at Twickenham against Berkshire.
