Radwan has been unleashed at roaring Tigers

Adam Radwan may be the missing ingredient Leicester Tigers needed as they look set to march towards the Premiership play-offs in red-hot form.

The 27-year-old, who has been capped twice by England, scoring a hat-trick on his debut against Canada, has always been one of the league's most dangerous players in open space.

A true speedster, Radwan possesses an exciting highlight reel, but saw his opportunities diminish since Steve Diamond took over Newcastle Falcons.

The Newcastle boss revealed earlier in the season that he would be operating with more of a simplistic approach to games, which resulted in the isolation of the North East side's most exciting talent.

Radwan has been a brilliant servant to the Falcons, sticking by the club despite bottom two finishes, but he came to realise that he was nothing more than a wasted talent in Diamond's setup.

He had seen the likes of Tom Roebuck, Immanuel Feyi-Waboso and Tommy Freeman move well clear of him in England's pecking order, and if he was to end his four-year international hiatus, he had to find pastures new.

England's most decorated club, Leicester, came calling in January, and even though the Midlanders have never played expansive rugby in the ilk of Harlequins or recently Gloucester, Radwan knew it was an offer too good to turn down.

Radwan made his debut for the Tigers against Gloucester in January, immediately hitting the ground running with a debut try.

And the potent winger has made scoring tries a habit since, with touchdowns in his first three Leicester outings before a score in the Tigers' statement victory over Bristol earlier this month.

Hat-trick hero is firing up Leicester’s title charge

Last Saturday saw Leicester demolish Harlequins to move into the top two, and guess who was on hand to dot down a hat-trick.

Radwan has scored seven tries in as many games so far for Leicester. The last time he scored seven or more in a season was way back in 2021/22.

Surrounded by world class experienced internationals, Radwan is thriving at Welford Road, benefiting from Jack van Poortvliet's crisp delivery and Handre Pollard's playmaking skills.

Leicester have won three of their last four Premiership games, and with Sale Sharks, likely a much changed Bath and Radwan's former club Newcastle to play before the end of the season, Radwan and co. may be making an appearance at the grand final on June 14.
