Leicester Tigers Sign Australian Fly-Half Jack Bowen

Leicester Tigers have announced the signing of 22-year-old Australian fly-half Jack Bowen to a multi-year contract.

Bowen's initial year with the club will be spent on loan at their Japanese partner, Mitsubishi Dynaboars. This arrangement allows him to continue developing his game under the guidance of former Nottingham and London Irish coach Glenn Delaney at the Kanagawa-based team.

Leicester's head coach, Geoff Parling, expressed his optimism about the signing. "He'll come to Leicester via our partner club in Japan – Mitsubishi Dynaboars – to keep working on his game," Parling stated. "Then we look forward to seeing what he can do with us from 2027 onwards. Jack is someone who we think has some real potential."

Bowen, the grandson of Australian tennis legend Tony Roche, shared his excitement about joining the prominent club. "Joining Tigers is a really special feeling," he said. "Leicester's a club with such strong history. They've had so much success in the past, so to be able to come across to a club like that is super exciting. It's a move that I'm hoping propels my career forward."

This loan move follows a similar path for other Tigers players, with Lewis Chessum, Charlie Titcombe, and Harry Palmer having previously gained experience on loan with the Mitsubishi Dynaboars.
