The Red Devils Hooker Was An Emerging Rugby Star
Logan Holgate had followed in his older brother’s footsteps by making a significant contribution to the sport.
The talented hooker followed in the footsteps of big brother Ellison and younger brother Fletcher by joining the Lions.
Logan first drew attention in 2021, when he made his Lions debut for the U-16s against Wales in Colwyn Bay.
His burgeoning club form helped him cement his place in the Under 19s selectors’ plans, with him impressing in trials before making it to the final touring squad that made history in Italy last September.
“During the exhausting six-game qualifying day, he was a virtual ever-present, impressing teammates and staff with his work ethic, infectious attitude, and quick wit,” his team wrote.
Logan was instrumental in England winning the Under-19 European Championship in 2022. He was outstanding in the semi-final and final as the Lions defeated Wales before defeating France in dramatic and emotional scenes.
“He leaves a lasting legacy on the program and staff, a brilliant young man and teammate,” the team remembered.
An online fundraiser is created to help Logan’s’ family. The GoFundMe has raised over £15,870. Home
