Pete Lucock has returned to his hometown club. He is a graduate of Leeds Tykes mini-rugby club and he is the only player to have come through the ranks to play for the first team. Pete made 164 appearances during his career with the club, the most of any back in our history. He was voted Player Of The Season for the 2014-15 campaign and as Inside Centre in the 2018/19 Championship Dream Team.
Pete moved to Doncaster Knights for the 2019-20 season and moved up to the Premiership Rugby with Newcastle Falcons on a three-year deal for the 2020-21 season.
The 31-year-old came back as Assistant Coach for the 2023/24 season: supporting the day-to-day rugby business and assisting with the backs’ attack and defence coaching.
We caught up with Pete to ask him about his return to the club where it all started.\
Pete will be the Leeds Tykes Head Coach for the 2024/25 season.
