Dan Lancaster (born 23 May 2001) is an English professional rugby union player for Racing 92 in the Top 14. He previously played for Leicester Tigers in Premiership Rugby, the top division of rugby union in England, as well as Ealing Trailfinders, Leeds Tykes and Nottingham in the RFU Championship. His primary position is fly half, he also plays centre.[1]
Lancaster started playing for local club West Park in Leeds as a 7-year old.[2] In 2018 Lancaster was named in the Scotland under-18 squad, qualifying through his Dumfries-born grandmother.[3]
On 1 January 2021, Lancaster was named in the England Under 20 Elite Player squad, one of only two players from outside Premiership Rugby.[4] He started all five games as England completed a grand slam in the 2021 Six Nations Under 20s Championship.
On 15 July 2021, Lancaster signed for Leicester Tigers.[5] He made his Leicester debut as a substitute on 14 November 2021 in a Premiership Rugby Cup win over Sale Sharks,[6] and made his first start a week later scoring 15 points in a 55-7 Premiership Rugby Cup win over Wasps.[7]
On 13 May Lancaster's early release was announced by Leicester,[8] and he was announced as having joined Bond University Rugby Club in Queensland, Australia.[9]
On 13 May 2022, it was confirmed that Lancaster would leave Leicester with immediate effect to join Ealing Trailfinders in the RFU Championship.[10]
In June 2024, he was recruited by Racing 92, a team coached by his father. The transfer came as a surprise as he had never played in the top flight before and was accused of favouritism.[11]
Lancaster is the son of Stuart Lancaster, the former head coach from 2011 to 2015.[12]
