Thomas Waldrom (born 28 April 1983) is a former rugby union player who played for Exeter Chiefs in the English Premiership and represented England from 2012 to 2014.

A number 8, Waldrom's early career was spent with his native Wellington provincial team, and the Hurricanes in Super Rugby.

Nicknamed "Thomas the Tank" due to his size and strength, he became a stalwart in the Chiefs team after moving to Exeter in 2014.

Waldrom had become something of a fan favourite at McLean Park with his high work rate and powerful runs with the ball.

On 23 February 2010 English Champions Leicester Tigers announced the signing of Waldrom and that he would join the team at the conclusion of the 2010 Super Rugby season.

[3] Waldrom scored a remarkable 16 tries during the 2014-15 season to end as the League's top try scorer as Exeter narrowly missed out on a play-off spot.

Waldrom missed Exeter's first Premiership Final, a 28–20 loss to Saracens, due to a knee injury sustained against Wasps in the Semi-Final.

Having scored two tries in a mid-week match against SA Barbarians South, he was selected on the bench for the second test, coming on to replace Ben Morgan in the second-half.

As a teenager, Waldrom specialised in shot put, discus and hammer throwing, setting several school and club records in these sports.

In March 2011 Waldrom discovered his maternal grandmother was born in England, immediately making him eligible for selection to the National Team.
