Six of Wymondham Rugby Club's under-15 players have been selected to join Premiership Rugby Junior Academies.

In a triumphant Facebook post, the Club said, 'A massive congratulations to SIX of our u15 players. [...] These six lads have shown incredible dedication, commitment and hard work both on and off the pitch, and thoroughly deserve this fantastic opportunity!'

Bam, Isaac, and James have been accepted into Leicester Tigers Academy, which has produced Lions veterans like Tom Croft, Dan Cole, and Harry Ellis.

Daniel, Zach, and Ethan are entering Northampton Saints Academy, another of the most prestigious development pathways in English rugby, which has produced stars like Tommy Freeman and Fraser Dingwall.

'It's a proud moment for everyone at Wymondham Rugby Club,' the Facebook post said, 'and a brilliant reflection of the talent coming through our Youth Rugby programme.

'We wish all six players the very best of luck as they take this exciting next step in their rugby journeys. Keep working hard, enjoy every moment and keep making us proud!

'The future is RED & BLACK!'
