It's April 1st, I'm Cory with the story. This is Lester News today, driven by AI. Honoural Levenberg is sang goodbye to Lester Tigers after 145 games since joining in 2019. The 30-year-old South African backrow Ford helped them win the premiership in the 2021-22 season, Captain the Side, the next year, and just lifted the Pram Rugby Cup with a 66-14 thrashing of Exeter. Now he's heading back to Pretoria to play for the bulls this summer. It came down to family, pulling him home. His wife Danielle had their son Luca in November 2024, and she's expecting their second child soon. After months of talks with coach GF Parling, who really wanted him to stay, Levenberg decided priorities had shifted, he wants to be close to. Relatives, raises kids right, and share holidays together. Fans and teammates respect his growth over seven seasons here. He credits legends like Ben Youngs, Tom Youngs, and Dan Cole for sharpening his leadership

and consistency, turning him from a 23-year-old. Kid into a reliable starter every week. Looking ahead, he might suit up one last time in Europe this Sunday against heavy favorites Bordeaux Beggels in the Champions Cup. Tigers love that underdog vibe, staying structured against their wild style, with less pressure on them to advance. Whatever happens, Levenberg's fired up for fresh challenges at the bulls, balancing rugby passion with family life that means even more now.
