Jordan Olowofela joins Western Force

Leicester Tigers outside-back Jordan Olowofela will join the Western Force on loan for the 2021 Super Rugby season.

The 22-year-old has made 41 senior appearances for Leicester since his debut in 2017 after graduating from the Tigers Academy and represented England Under-20s in 2018.

Speaking about the loan agreement with the Australian side, Tigers head coach Steve Borthwick said: “In this unique season, with limited opportunities for all players to get game time, this opportunity presents a chance for Jordan to get valuable experience in his development.

“At just 22, Jordan can gain both rugby and life experience in a different environment and culture.

“I am excited to see the progress he makes in Super Rugby and am confident he will represent our club in a way that will make everybody at Tigers proud.

“We are extremely grateful to the Force for presenting this opportunity to a Leicester Tigers player and the productive process in making it happen.”
