Jordan Crane (born 3 June 1986) is a professional Rugby Union player, who currently plays for Leicester Tigers having moved from Leeds Tykes at the end of the 2005/2006 season. Crane was also selected in the England Saxons squad for the 2006/2007 season.
Jordan Crane made his debut for his former club, Leeds Tykes, in the 9-all draw at Grenoble in the European Challenge Cup in October 2004 aged just 18. He went on to make 29 appearances for the Tykes in all competitions scoring five tries, including a hat trick against Valladolid in the European Challenge Cup. His England U21 debut followed in February 2006 scoring a try against Wales at Worcester, and he was an ever-present in their successful U21 Grand Slam campaign. This was his second successive age group Grand Slam, as he had captained England’s U19 side to success the season before. Crane has also captained England at U18 level and took over the leadership role when his new team-mate, Matt Cornwell, was injured during the IRB U21 World Cup in France this summer, fulfilling the promise shown when competing for Colston’s College in the final of the Daily Mail U18 Competition at Twickenham.
He plays in the back row, weighs 109 kg and is 191 cm tall.
