Thomas William Freeman (born 5 March 2001) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a wing for a Premiership Rugby club Northampton Saints and the England national team.[1]

Club career

Freeman was released by the Leicester Tigers academy at the age of sixteen.[2] In 2018 he joined Northampton Saints and the following year made his club debut in a Premiership Rugby Cup match against Sale Sharks.[3]

International career

In October 2021 Freeman received his first call-up to the senior England squad by coach Eddie Jones for the 2021 Autumn Internationals.[4] Freeman was also a member of their 2022 tour of Australia and on 9 July 2022 made his debut starting in the second test victory at Lang Park.[5]

Having not played for England since November 2022 against South Africa, a game where he was substituted at half time, he returned to the squad for the 2024 Six Nations Championship after a call-up by coach Steve Borthwick. He started the first game of the campaign, an away win against Italy and scored his first try in a loss to France. [6]
