Don’t let the worry of injury and the loss of your income stop you from playing the sport that you love.

Income Protection Insurance for amateur rugby players should be available at normal terms with most insurers in the UK.

We have over more than 25 years' experience in making a difference to businesses and providing clients with competitive and comprehensive group life and health insurance. We look forward to speaking to you about your requirements. 

Rugby players often have a higher BMI due to the amount of muscle mass. At certain points higher BMI levels can mean that insurers will increase the policy premiums. We can speak with the insurer on your behalf and explain that your BMI is due to your rugby playing, which can sometimes help to stop any premium increases. We’ll do the hard work for you and get the right policy for you.

Excellent, clear advice and assistance to secure income protection to suit my circumstances. Found great cover with very helpful assistance from the team, who were very knowledgeable. Such a relief to find a company who listens, takes the time to ask all the pertinent questions, and leaves you feeling confident you made the right decision. From my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend Howden.”
