There will be seven new Tigers who join the program for the 2024 season, with four American players and three from England. Their addition will mean a 24-player roster for the coming season, of which 12 will be Americans and 12 will be internationals.
“We’re extremely excited about this class,” Tagliente says. “It’s a really strong, really deep group with a great deal of experience at all levels, including international. We expect them to come in and challenge for playing time immediately, and their addition to our returning group means that we will have great competition for spots all over the field, which will only make us better.”
Here are the seven members of the TFH Class of 2027:
