It's being reported that Ellis Genge is returning to his boyhood club next season in what would be a huge signing for director of rugby Pat Lam.
The 26-year-old has made 96 appearances for Leicester Tigers since his debut during the 2015/16 campaign as a loan signing from his hometown, Bristol.
Telegraph Sport report that Genge has turned down an approach from Saracens and is set to join Sale Sharks fly-half AJ MacGinty in linking up with the Bears ahead of the 2022/23 Premiership season.
Genge said following his exit: “I’ll be forever grateful for what this club has given me.
“I’ve created lifelong friendships and learned a great deal.
“The club has been amazing in understanding my reasons for this decision and I will continue to give everything I have got for the boys and the fans of Leicester Tigers for the rest of this season.”

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
