Tom Croft (born 7 November 1985) is a retired rugby union player.
Born 7 November 1985 in Basingstoke, England, Croft initially went to Park House School, a comprehensive school in Newbury, Berkshire, before going to Oakham School in Rutland where he was in the same year as England cricketer Stuart Broad.
Croft's best position was blindside flanker.
He was known for his line-out agility and unusual speed for a forward; one of the quickest players in the Tigers squad his coach Aaron Mauger described him as the " fastest loose forward he had ever seen".
He played 173 games for Leicester Tigers between 2005–17 winning four Premiership Rugby titles, played 40 times for between 2008–2015, was part of the squad for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, and the British & Irish Lions in 2009 to South Africa and 2013 to Australia.
His career was somewhat plagued with a variety of minor and serious injuries.
Croft's senior debut for Leicester Tigers came against Gloucester in the 2005–06 season, a week after he turned 20.
In the following season, which included a Premiership title and the Anglo-Welsh Cup for the Tigers, he made 16 appearances.

2008–09 could be considered Croft's breakthrough season, in which he established himself both in the club side and on the international scene.
He was man-of-the-match in the Heineken Cup semi-final against Cardiff Blues, which resulted in a historic sudden death kicking competition.
The shoot-out ended before Croft's turn came up as Jordan Crane made the winning kick.
Although the Tigers fell at the final hurdle of the Heineken Cup, they won the 2008–09 Guinness Premiership.
Croft played lock in both finals, as a result of injury to teammate Louis Deacon.
The following season didn't quite match up to the previous for Croft, due in no small part to the two knee injuries he sustained, one after the other in the middle of the season.
He worked his way back successfully, however, and featured in another Premiership final victory, this time at blindside flanker.
Croft was called up to the England squad for the 2008 Six Nations Championship.

He switched to openside flanker to cover injured captain Lewis Moody halfway through the second half of the first Test, which England lost 27–17.
The second Test saw England beat Australia 20–21.

Croft suffered two major injuries whilst on club duty.
Croft took part in the 2010 Autumn Internationals, starting in both the loss to and the win against, the latter cited by many to have been the best England performance for years.
