Varndell said: “I am very happy to be staying at the club.

“It is still regarded as one of the best clubs in the country, if not Europe. With the fan base and the following that we have, it is an amazing club to be a part of and I am very happy to be extending my contract.”

Tigers head coach Marcelo Loffreda added: “We are really happy that Tom Varndell has signed.

“He is a very accomplished player, he is a skilful player and he has been working very hard on his game. He is potentially one of the best players in his position in the country.”
