Tom English (born 8 March 1991) is an Australian rugby union footballer who plays as a centre or wing for the Melbourne Rebels.
English is a former Australia Sevens representative.[1] In 2011, he was named at inside centre for Sydney University in the final of the Shute Shield. The side was to be captained by Rebels flanker Tim Davidson.[2]
In late 2012 English joined the Melbourne Rebels Extended Playing Squad.[3] He stayed with the Rebels into 2013[4] and was named on the bench to play the Western Force in Round 1[5] and ACT Brumbies for Round 2[6] but didn't play.[7] He made his Super Rugby debut when he replaced inside centre Rory Sidey against the Reds in Round 4.[8] Seven weeks later he started on the right wing[3][9] and played 58 minutes before being replaced by Lachlan Mitchell.[10]
In 2014, English faced competition for a place in the Rebels centres from Mitch Inman and New Zealand import Tamati Ellison.[11]
In May 2014 English was invited to train with the Wallaby squad preparing for series against France.
