Leicester Tigers have confirmed the signing of Zack Henry for the 2020/21 season. Henry spent two seasons at French club Rouen Normandie Rugby under the guidance of former England scrum-half Richard Hill after graduating from Bath University from where he was selected as part of Team GB’s silver medal-winning side at the 2015 World University Games.

After guiding Rouen to the Federale 1 final in 2017, Henry joined Nevers in Pro D2 where he has spent the past two seasons.

A goal-kicking fly-half, who is capable of playing across the backline, Henry has emerged as one of Pro D2’s most exciting, attacking players. The 25-year-old is the younger brother of Hartpury’s Championship division winger Jake Henry.

Tigers head coach Geordan Murphy admitted the person as much as the player was key in wanting to add Henry to the club’s ranks. “Zack is an exciting talent, who adds a different dynamic to our depth at fly-half and in the midfield,” he told leicestertigers.com ahead of their home Gallagher Premiership game next Saturday versus Worcester.

“His ability will be a boost to our squad but, at his young age, it’s his maturity, intelligence and experience that were among the factors which impressed us when we met with Zack. He’s fortunate to still have plenty of room for growth and time to develop his game, which we look forward to contributing to at Tigers.”

Henry added: “I’m really excited to be joining such a prestigious club with a decorated history. I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to meet with Geordan prior to signing and it was an inspiring experience to visit Welford Road and see all the trophies.”

The 25-year-old admitted the opportunity to join a club with the history of Leicester’s was too good to refuse. “My time in France has been an unforgettable period in my career which has helped me to improve as a player,” added Henry. 

“But the opportunity to join Leicester Tigers was something I did not hesitate to accept. It is time for a new challenge and I can’t wait to get started.

“I will be working hard to play my part in achieving success and continuing to learn alongside the world-class players and coaching team in Leicester. Tigers supporters are known to be among the best in the world it’s going to be an amazing experience to represent this club.”

Back in January, I got caught up in a cryptocurrency scam that really turned my life upside down. I invested a jaw-dropping $214,000 in BNB on what I thought was a legitimate crypto site. For a while, everything seemed to be going smoothly, and I was excited about the returns I was expecting. But then, when I tried to withdraw my profits, everything fell apart. The scammers froze my account and demanded more money, claiming I had breached some sort of agreement. I was completely devastated and felt trapped in a nightmare. It got so overwhelming that I started having dark thoughts about ending it all. Thankfully, my family noticed I was struggling and stepped in when I finally opened up about what was happening. During one of our talks, my niece mentioned a group called (Trust Geeks Hack Expert). She had heard they helped people recover their stolen cryptocurrencies, and I was intrigued. I thought, “Could this be my saving grace?” So, I decided to reach out to them and explain my situation in detail. To my surprise, (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) was incredibly responsive and compassionate. They reassured me that they had dealt with cases like mine before and would do everything they could to help. I was a bit skeptical, but I was also desperate for a solution. Amazingly, within about three days if I remember correctly they managed to recover the entire $214,000 that I had lost! I was in shock. It felt like a huge burden had been lifted off my shoulders. If you’re reading this and you’ve fallen victim to a crypto scam, I can’t recommend (Trust Geeks Hack Expert) enough. They are truly exceptional at what they do. Reach out for help, and don’t hesitate to contact them. (Trust Geeks Hack Expert)
