George Martin signs new ‘multiyear agreement’ at Leicester
By PA
Leicester second row George Martin has signed a new “multiyear agreement” with the club.
Martin, 22, a standout performer for England during the World Cup, returned to action for Leicester in Sunday’s Investec Champions Cup win against Stade Francais.
He told the Gallagher Premiership club’s official website: “I’m really happy to be staying with Tigers.
“Coming through the academy here, I get to come into work every day, play for a great club with my mates and I’m excited to work with (head coach) Dan (McKellar) and develop in the program that we have here.
“It was great to get back on the field last week and Exeter (on Saturday) is another big challenge for our group.
“Playing for this club in Leicester is special. I’m looking forward to getting back home to Mattioli Woods Welford Road.”
Nottingham-born Martin has made 69 appearances in all competitions for Leicester and stepped off the bench in the 2021-22 Premiership final.
He made his England debut in a 32-18 defeat to Ireland in 2021 as a replacement for Billy Vunipola and made his first start in a World Cup warm-up match against Wales in August, which England lost 20-9.

Can you stop with the xenophobia?
Go to commentsYeah, they’re not firing on all cylinders. But they’re going in to each game for the win and pulling it off 11/13 times for this past year. After an 85% season last year.
Based on my calculations - No other team has had two seasons in a row of 85% or better in the last 6 years. Not even Ireland.
