Full-back Mike Brown says his try on debut for Leicester at 37 is proof players should not be judged by age
As someone who was playing at the age of 39, and only retired to take up the interim head coaching job at Tigers in December, Wigglesworth knows what it is to play as a veteran.39-year-old Jimmy Gopperth"I've worked incredibly hard throughout my career to stay in good shape," Brown told BBC Radio Leicester.
"That is what the modern athlete is about now. You see across all sports, athletes of a certain age that are still at the top of their game."It's just great to be back in an environment like this. "It makes it easy when you are in an environment with players who work so hard with these coaches. It's inspiring for someone like me to come in who wants to work hard and contribute."
