London-born and English-qualified, Potter was signed by Leicester Tigers in the summer of 2020 from Super Rugby side the Melbourne Rebels.

Harry lived in the UK for a decade before his family emigrated to Melbourne and he played at NSW Country Eagles and Melbourne Rising in Australia’s National Rugby Championship before signing a professional contract with the Rebels in 2019.

Since 2016, he also appeared for Sydney University in the Shute Shield competition under the guidance of Rob Taylor and played a starring role in the club’s back-to-back Premiership title-winning campaigns.

He made six appearances for Tigers after the restart of the Covid-hit 2019/20 season, claiming his first try in the Premiership game at Gloucester and then scoring in the European Challenge Cup semi-final in Toulon.



#3. Max Ojomoh (Centre)

An exciting player who consistently has supporters on the edge of their seats every time he receives the ball, Ojomoh plays for his hometown club Bath.

He joined the Bath academy at 14, and is son of Bath legend Steve Ojomoh who won 11 caps for England. The youngster credits Wales international Jamie Roberts for giving him a good understanding of the game on and off the pitch.

A key component of the clubs future, the centre graduated from the Academy in February 2022 alongside longstanding teammate Orlando Bailey.
