    Ellis Genge Bio

    Born on 16 February 1995, Ellis Genge started playing rugby at the age of 12 for Old Redcliffians. When he turned 16, he moved to Hartpury College and captained their rugby team to victory in the AASE league. 

    Due to his performances, he also represented England at youth level. During this period, he largely played across the back row. However, he was ultimately convinced to convert to the prop position by Bristol Bears when he was 18. Upon agreeing to the change of position, he signed a two-year contract with the club. 

    After a brief stint out on loan to gain experience, he began to play for Bristol in the RFU Championship in 2014. Sadly, due to some off-the-field issues, he left Bristol and signed for Leicester in 2016. 

    After only one start for Leicester, Ellis Genge received his first England call-up. He made his debut for the national side against Wales a couple of days later. 

    In the 2016-17 season, Ellis Genge became a regular for Leicester. Although he fell out of England contention at times during this period, he won the club's Young Player and Best Newcomer awards in his first full season with the club. As a result of Lions call-ups, he was then recalled to the England side for the team's tour of Argentina in 2017. 

    Since, Genge has gone from strength to strength. He’s now a regular for England and was even named in World Rugby’s team of the year in 2022. In the same year, he also returned to Bristol Bears, citing a wish to be closer to his family. 

    Today, Genge is firmly established as one of the world’s elite forwards. He’s won the Six Nations, the Autumn Nations Cup and finished as a runner-up at the Rugby World Cup. In 2025, he was named in the British and Irish Lions squad for the team’s tour of Australia. He played a starring role in all three tests as the Lions won the series 2-1. 

    With many years of top-class rugby ahead of him, we can't wait to see how the career of Ellis Genge unfolds.
