Luke Abraham (born September 26, 1983) is a professional rugby union player, who currently plays for Leicester Tigers.
A strong and pacy Leicester-born back-row player, Luke came through the ranks after joining Tigers aged 15. He took up the sport three years earlier at Bushloe High School and joined his local club, Leicester Vipers, before becoming part of the Tigers set-up. He played an important role in last season’s double-winning campaign, making 12 Guinness Premiership appearances including eight starts as well as a single appearance in the EDF Energy Cup success.
A former England U-18, U-19 and U-21 A international, Luke had a short spell playing hooker during his time with Nelson’s Bay club Stoke in New Zealand during the summer of 2005. He was an U-21 League winner with Tigers in 2002/03 and A League winner in 2004/05 and 2005/06, having made his first-team debut as an 18-year-old against Worcester Warriors in January 2002.
