Martin Corry, born on October 12, 1973, in Birmingham, England, began his rugby journey in the minis at Tunbridge Wells RFC, continuing through Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys and Northumbria University. He represented England at various age grades, including Schools, Students, and U21s, before making his senior England debut in 1997 against Argentina. Corry played 64 Tests for England and captained the national side in 17 matches. He also earned 7 caps for the British & Irish Lions across tours in 2001 and 2005. A significant career highlight was his integral role in England’s victorious 2003 Rugby World Cup campaign in Australia, followed by a pivotal contribution to England’s run to the World Cup final in 2007.
Throughout his club career, Corry played for Newcastle Gosforth (1993–1995) and Bristol (1995–1997) before joining Leicester Tigers in 1997. He played 279 games for the Leicester Tigers, captaining the team from 2005 to 2009. During his time with the Tigers, he notably won the Premiership Rugby title six times (1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2009) and the European Cup twice (2001, 2002). Corry displayed considerable leadership, taking on the England captaincy in challenging circumstances from March 2005 to March 2006, November 2006, and September 2007. He officially retired from international rugby in 2008 at the age of 34, declining a place in the Six Nations squad to focus on his club career, and from all professional rugby in 2009.
After his retirement from playing, Corry transitioned into corporate roles, including becoming the Director of Strategic Partnerships for the Mark Group and joining DocuSign. His involvement in rugby continues through positions such as being elected onto the Rugby Football Union (RFU) Council, taking over from Richard Hill. In January 2024, Corry demonstrated his enduring connection to the sport and his community by playing in a traditional Boxing Day match at his childhood club, Tunbridge Wells RFC, alongside his son, Ned, and other multi-generational family pairings.
