James Robert Shillcock (born 1 August 1997)[1] is an English professional rugby union player for Leicester Tigers in Premiership Rugby. His primary positions are fullback and fly-half. He previously played for Mitsubishi Sagamihara DynaBoars in Japan's Rugby League One, and for Worcester Warriors & Bath in Premiership Rugby.

Career

Shillcock began playing rugby for Warwick School at the age of 7.[2] He made his debut for Worcester Warriors at the age of 17 against London Scottish in the RFU Championship semi-finals; becoming the youngest player to feature in the play-offs.[3]

After making his debut at scrum-half he later played both full back and fly-half.[4] By the time he extended his contract with Worcester in December 2018 he was used predominantly at fly half.[5]

On 5 October 2022 all Worcester players had their contacts terminated due to the liquidation of the company to which they were contracted.[6]

Shortly after having his contract terminated at Worcester Shillcock was signed by Bath on a short-term deal along with former Worcester teammate Billy Searle.[7] He then joined Mitsubishi Sagamihara DynaBoars in Japan Rugby League One for the 2022–23 Japan Rugby League One – Division 1 season.[8]

On 26 January 2023, Leicester Tigers announced Shillcock as a new signing for the 2023-24 season.[9]

In February 2024 Shillcock scored nine points for the England A side during a victory over Portugal.[10]
