England international Ellis Genge has taken another step on his trajectory to sporting superstardom by becoming the latest rugby player to join rap superstar Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports agency.
Genge re-signed for his hometown club the Bristol Bears this summer as a returning hero after six years away having captained Leicester Tigers back from the brink of relegation to Premiership champions in 2021/22. And the Bristolian looks to have kicked on again on the pitch since returning to Ashton Gate, appearing to harness the emotional energy of his return to the West Country to score three tries in two appearances and record a man of the match display in the opening weekend derby victory over Bath Rugby as the Bears have raced out to top of the league table.
