Four international stars have confirmed their departures from Leicester Tigers.
#1. George Ford to Sale Sharks
The 28-year-old, capped by England on 77 occasions, has signed a three-year deal. Ford, who returned to Leicester in 2017, will now leave Welford Road for a second time, having previously joined Bath in 2013.
Following the announcement, Ford, who elected against taking up an option to stay with the Tigers, said: “It has been the most difficult decision of my career.
“I am proud and grateful to represent this great club at Leicester and I will give my all for the rest of my time at Tigers.”
#2. Ellis Genge to Bristol Bears
The England international has put pen to paper on a deal to return to his boyhood club ahead of the 2022/23 campaign. A product of Bristol’s Academy, 26-year-old Genge made 28 outings before departing for Leicester Tigers in 2016.
#3. Matias Moroni to Newcastle Falcons
The centre confirmed his exit in a statement on Tuesday with his move to Newcastle Falcons confirmed this morning.
#4. Nemani Nadolo to Waratahs
The powerhouse winger is set to join the Waratahs on a one-year deal next season from Gallagher Premiership side Leicester. 12 years after he was cut adrift by the Waratahs, Nadolo will join test fullback Kurtley Beale in a return to add international class and devastating power next year.
