Leon David Lloyd (born 22 September 1977 in Coventry) is a retired English rugby union footballer who played wing or outside centre for Leicester Tigers between 1996 and 2007, spending his final 2007/8 season at Gloucester.
Lloyd made his debut at Leicester Tigers in 1996, displaced ageing England international Rory Underwood from the side.
[1] He went on to gain his first two caps the following season as a replacement against South Africa in 2000, but concern was raised about his discipline as he was seen punching a Springbok player.
Unfortunately he suffered a shoulder injury that required surgery and kept him out of the Tigers squad for the start of the 2001/02 season and ultimately cost him his place in the England team.
However, he recovered well and scored two tries, including the match-winner in Tigers' 2001 Heineken Cup Final,[2] only to be injured again when Leicester retained the trophy in May 2002.
