Mark Tampin (born 20 January 1992) is an English rugby union player who plays for Newcastle Falcons in the Premiership Rugby. [1]

Mark started his career with Leeds Carnegie in 2010 remaining there for three years, during which time he featured as a dual-registered player in the National Leagues with Wharfedale and Harrogate. In 2013 he signed for Rotherham playing in the RFU championship amassing more than 80 appearances. [2]

A switch to Jersey followed in 2016 [3] then another to Ealing ahead of the 2017-18 season. [4]

He remained with Ealing for two years before agreeing a move to Newcastle in Summer 2019 [5] where he was part of the squad which won promotion from the Championship in 2019-20 season as Falcons ended the campaign undefeated with 15 victories, the league having been curtailed and ultimately cancelled on 20 March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United Kingdom.

His Premiership Rugby debut came on 21 November 2020 when Mark came off the bench for Logovi'i Mulipola as Falcons defeated Bath Rugby 12-19 in the opening round of the Premiership season. [6] On 31 May 2021 it was announced by Newcastle that he had renewed terms for a further two years [7] . His 50th appearance for the club came in April 2022 in the EPCR Challenge Cup against Zebre [8] . In January 2023 the club confirmed he had agreed a new contract until Summer 2025 [9] .

Mark's grandfather was David 'Wrecker' Brooks (1924-2002) who played for Harlequins and was President of Surrey (1971-73) and later President of the RFU (1981-1982) although he is perhaps best remembered as the Tour Manager of the British Lions 1968 tour to South Africa.
