Mark Tampin (born 20 January 1992) is an English rugby union player who plays for Newcastle Falcons in the Premiership Rugby.[1]
Mark started his career with Leeds Carnegie in 2010 remaining there for three years, during which time he featured as a dual-registered player in the National Leagues with Wharfedale and Harrogate. In 2013 he signed for Rotherham amassing more than 80 appearances. [2]
A switch to Jersey followed in 2016[3] then another to Ealing ahead of the 2017-18 season.[4]
He remained with Ealing for two years before agreeing a move to Newcastle in Summer 2019 [5] where he was part of the squad which won promotion from the Championship in 2019-20 season as Falcons ended the campaign undefeated with 15 victories, the league having been curtailed and ultimately cancelled on 20 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.
A Premiership Rugby debut was achieved on 21st November 2020 as he came off the bench for Logovi'i Mulipola as Falcons defeated Bath Rugby 12-19 in the opening round of the Premiership season. [6] On 31st May 2021 it was announced by Newcastle that he had renewed terms for a further two years and would remain with the club until at least 2023.[7]
Mark's grandfather was David 'Wrecker' Brooks (1924-2002) who played for Harlequins and was President of Surrey (1971-73) and later President of the RFU (1981-1982) although he is perhaps best remembered as the Tour Manager of the British Lions 1968 tour to South Africa.
