England Under-20s international Tom Hardwick has agreed a new contract with Leicester Tigers.

Academy graduate Hardwick has played at fly-half and centre with Tigers, making his senior debut in November 2017 and adding a further eight first-team appearances this season after playing in the Under-20s World Cup last summer.

Hardwick said: “The club is very ambitious and I want to be a part of that. It's going to be a successful club for the years to come and I want to be a part of that.”

Tigers head coach Geordan Murphy said: “Tom is a very good young player who we have seen come right through the ranks at the club. He has done very well for us at age-group levels and now at senior level.

“He is working alongside international players and learning from the experience all the time. He has taken his opportunities well this season and we look forward to his continued development here.”
