Neil Briggs is a rugby union player for Leicester Tigers in the Aviva Premiership. Briggs plays as a Hooker, but he can also play as a Flanker. Briggs started his career at Rotherham Titans before moving to Sale Sharks where he notched up 104 appearances from 2005 to 2011. In the 2005?2006 season, Briggs made 3 appearances as Sale Sharks won their first ever Premiership title. In October 2011 he left Sale to join French club Bourgoin for the remainder of the 2011-2012 season before returning to the Aviva Premiership with London Welsh in 2012. Briggs made his debut for the England Saxons against the Argentina Jaguars at the 2009 Churchill Cup. After James Gaskell was injured in October 2010, Briggs was appointed Sale's captain for the remainder of the season. In turn, Briggs too succumbed to injury a month into his tenure as captain. The shoulder injury ? which was sustained in a practise session when Briggs was tackled by Neil McMillan ? sidelined him for up to three months. For the 2013-2014 season Briggs is reported to have been signed by Leicester Tigers.
