Tom Varndell (born 16 September 1985) is an English rugby union footballer who plays on the wing for Bristol Rugby who gained recent promotion into the Aviva Premiership. Varndell also has caps for England and England Sevens, as well as having represented other Aviva Premiership sides Leicester Tigers and Wasps. He is currently the leading try scorer in the Aviva Premiership.
Varndell began playing rugby aged 8 at Chinnor rugby club in Oxfordshire before moving to Henley Hawks, where he stayed until he was 15. He was later invited by Dusty Hare, the former England full back, who was Leicester's Chief Scout, to train with them. He spent two years at the Tigers' den but left to take up a scholarship at Colston's Collegiate School in Bristol.
Varndell returned to the Tigers in 2004, and made a quick impact in the Premiership. In his second appearance with the Tigers senior side, he recorded the fastest hat trick of tries in Premiership history, doing so in a 13-minute span against Worcester. He finished the 2005-06 Guinness Premiership regular season, top of the try list with 14.
