Richard Lepori (born 22 October 1991) is an English rugby league player who currently plays for the Oldham Roughyeds in the Championship. An Italian national representative,[3] he primarily plays at fullback.
Playing career
Lepori was previously contracted to play in the academy teams of Salford City Reds and later Castleford Tigers. He joined the Oldham Roughyeds in the third-tier Championship 1 in 2013, before moving to Queensland, Australia the following year, playing for the Atherton Roosters in the Cairns District Rugby League. On 23 October 2014, it was announced that Lepori would be returning to England in 2015 to join Whitehaven in the second-tier Championship.[4] Lepori left the club in July 2015 after their signing of Louis Jouffret saw him receive no game time.[5] He rejoined recently promoted Oldham in the Championship, before joining the Sedgley Tigers, a rugby union club, in the fourth-tier National League 2 North. Lepori once again rejoined Oldham midseason in March 2017.[6]
