Dan Cole's record breaking Tigers Premiership appearance has topped the voting in April 2024's Topps Tiles Triumph of the Month.

Saturday, April 20, saw Cole run out for his 235th league appearance, making him Leicester Tigers' most-capped player in Premiership history.

Having made his first Premiership appearance in the 2008/09 season, Cole's appearance in the East-Midlands derby helped break the long-held record of 234 by fellow front-row legend Graham Rowntree.

Cole has already begun work extending his record, having featured one week later in the home clash with Bristol Bears, a game that saw the prop break another milestone as he made his 250th Tigers start.

A Tigers legend in every possible way, Cole represents a true Triumph! 

The appearance milestone came out on top of the voting this month, ahead of Ollie Hassell-Collins' brace of tries (v Bristol Bears) and the support of the Tigers Family (v Bristol Bears). Thank you to all supporters who placed a vote this month.
