Tom Cowan-Dickie (born 26 May 1991)[1] is a Cornish[2] rugby union player for Leicester Tigers in Premiership Rugby, the top division of rugby union. His primary position is hooker. He previously played for Cornish Pirates in the RFU Championship, the second division and has also played for Exeter Chiefs in Premiership Rugby, Plymouth Albion, in both the RFU Championship and National League 1, and for Redruth in National League 2 South.

Career[]

Cowan-Dickie came through the academy at Exeter Chiefs and went on loan to Cornish Pirates for the 2010-11 and 2011-12 season.[3] He then signed a new contract with Exeter and went on loan to Plymouth Albion,[4] before joining them permanently in 2014.[5]

In 2016 Cowan-Dickie played a season for Redruth in National League 2 and represented Cornwall as they won the County Championship. He re-joined Plymouth for a single season in National League 1 before moving upwards again in 2017 to Cornish Pirates in the RFU Championship.[6]

Injuries limited Cowan-Dickie's appearances for the Pirates but he signed a new contract in the summer of 2021,[7] before joining Leicester Tigers on loan in September 2021.[8] He made his Tigers debut on 18 September 2021 as a replacement in a win against his former club Exeter, and then scored his first try on 5 November 2021 securing the four-try bonus point with a last minute score against Bath.[9] On 13 December 2021, his move to Leicester became a permanent transfer as he signed a contract until the end of the 2021-22 season.[10]
