From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anitelia "Andy" Tuilagi (born 5 June 1986) is a Samoan rugby union player who plays either at the wing or outside centre. He has played for Samoa, as well as club rugby for Leeds carnegie, in the Guinness Premiership, and a season loan at Leeds Tykes, now Leeds Carnegie, in National Division One. Andy made his Leicester debut at Welford Road against Gloucester as a replacement.

Andy is the younger brother of Henry, Freddie and Alex Tuilagi who are also Samoan internationals and all of whom have played for Leicester Tigers. He became the fourth member of the Tuilagi family to play at Leicester since elder brother Freddie Tuilagi made the move from St Helens rugby league club in June of 2000. Two younger brothers, Vavae and Manu Samoa have played in a recent (25.5.08) game for Leicester Tigers against the Classic All-Blacks. He has gained seven caps for Samoa and recently scored his second try for his country in a 53-9 victory over Japan.

Having spent time on loan at Leeds, Andy has ended his contract with Leicester Tigers to join Leeds Carnegie full time.
