Tommy Bell (born 11 November 1992 in Plymouth, England) is a rugby union player for London Irish[1].
He began his career with Sale Sharks in the Aviva Premiership, but moved to London Wasps for the 2012/2013 season, playing alongside his brother Chris Bell.[2]
On 6 June 2014, Bell made his move to the RFU Championship as he signed a contract with Jersey.[3] However, after a month with Jersey, Bell was granted early release from his contract since a top flight club made an approach to him where he would officially move to Leicester Tigers.[4]
On 17 February 2016, Bell agreed a long-term deal with London Irish from the 2016-17 season.[5]
