On 16 February 2014 Tom made his debut for the Leeds Rhinos, scoring at hat trick of tries against Hull Kingston Rovers at the KC Lightstream Stadium in a 34-6 win and scored 8 tries in his first 10 appearances in a very successful start to his Leeds Rhinos career.
In the 2015 Challenge Cup Final on 29 August 2015, Briscoe scored five tries, the first player to achieve this at Wembley Stadium, as Leeds defeated Hull Kingston Rovers 50-0.[6] Briscoe was named Lance Todd Trophy winner for his performance in this match.[6]
International career
At the end of 2010, Briscoe made his international debut for England in a friendly match against a New Zealand Māori side and then went on to face the full New Zealand team in the Four Nations.
