Tom Lindsay

Born in Swindon, Tom Lindsay joined Wasps as a 16 year old and is now in his third full season in the Club's senior squad.

A former member of the Saracens Academy, he was scouted while playing for Middlesex.

Lindsay was converted into a front row forward after playing in the backs as a schoolboy. His early experience with Wasps included two months in North Shore, New Zealand as part of an a exchange agreement between North Harbour Rugby and Wasps with the London club's former prop Craig Dowd the driving force behind the arrangement.

He made his senior debut for Wasps 2008 and his first senior start came in the 2009/10 Amlin Challenge Cup pool game against Racing Metro.

The young hooker produced some excellent form towards the end of that season which earned him selection for England Saxons in the 2010 Churchill Cup alongside clubmates Tom Rees, George Skivington and Tom Varndell.

Tom made 22 appearances for the Club last season rotating roles most frequently with Rob Webber and his aim for the coming season will be to secure the number 2 shirt as his own.
