Thomas Lyte’s long association with Premiership Rugby is exemplified by the Aviva Player of the Year Award, one of the most sought-after prizes in the sport.
First created for the 2011-12 season, England captain, Chris Robshaw, was the first recipient of the award. The 40cm, silver-plated award, represents the Aviva brand with the “spire” from their logo used as the inspiration for the gold-plated centre piece.
