Manu Tuilagi signs new Leicester contract

England centre Manu Tuilagi has ended speculation about his future by signing a new contract with Leicester.

The 24-year-old was due to be a free agent at the end of this campaign, and he had been linked with the likes of Wasps and Saracens, but the Tigers have now tied him down on a day when four of their players penned new deals.

Tuilagi’s England team-mates Ben Youngs and Freddie Burns also agreed fresh terms at Welford Road, as did the club’s captain Ed Slater.
