The Manu Tuilagi transfer saga is over…

Manu Tuilagi has signed a new contract with Leicester.

This ends speculation of a move to Racing 92 and ensures that he will remain available to play for England after this year’s World Cup.

Four days after his rampaging display against Italy at Twickenham, the 27-year-old centre has reportedly formally agreed to a new two-year deal with the Tigers. 

Simon Cohen, the Leicester chief executive, is understood to have visited England’s Surrey HQ on Wednesday in order for the paperwork to be completed this morning.

“This is a massive club and it means a lot to me and my family,” the 27-year-old told the club website.

“I love the club and I want to repay the loyalty they have shown me.”
