The Tyne Tees Tigers are the North East’s Australian Rules Football Club and compete in Central and Northern England Australian Football League. They are the latest club to join the new Gosforth Sports Association, and Tigers President Phil Martin said “It’s a fantastic opportunity for the Tigers to be a part of a community sporting venture and the permanent home for both training and playing opens the club to be more accessible and part of a wider community”

The Tigers were founded in April 2012 from the remnants of the North East England league, which formerly comprised of the Durham Saints, Gateshead Miners, Hartlepool Dockers, Middlesbrough Hawks, Newcastle Centurions and the Redcar Bombers.
