Huge congratulations to NTU first year student Bronson Mellowes, who has been selected to make his senior debut for Leicester Tigers in this weekends premiership cup vs Nottingham.
Bronson was recruited to NTU on a scholarship in partnership with Leicester Tigers where he is a senior academy player.
Head of rugby David Ross, who will be coaching against Bronson for Nottingham commented “It’s great news for Bronson and the programme that he has been selected for this weeks game. He has worked extremely hard since joining us and his most recent performance from NTU in BUCS have been extremely impressive”
He is a dynamic ball carrier and gets round the pitch well and I know he will relish the challenge of stepping up to the next level, playing his first professional game.
This again shows how strong the partnerships that we have at NTU with the premiership clubs and Bronson follows Eddie Bryan, Hobie Riches, Jai and Aman Johal out of our current students who have made their first professional appearances this season.
