New Leicester signing Nadolo makes Montpellier promise before summer exit

Leicester Tigers’ latest signing Nemani Nadolo has said that he is committed to leaving Montpellier “on a high”. 

The signing announcement was made official on Monday after RugbyPass revealed last Friday that the deal was done for the Fijian behemoth to arrive at Welford Road in the summer.

He has thanked his current club and its owner Mohed Altrad for letting the move happen. However, the 32-year-old urged that there is still plenty of work to be done in the south of France this season as he aims to finish his four years with the club in style. 

He said on Instagram: “The season is far from over here in the south of France and I’m 100 per cent committed to leaving this club on a high. 

“I can finally lay this to rest and concentrate on making many more memories with my MHR team-mates and most importantly the fans! Hopefully, we can create something special this season.”

Montpellier currently sit in eighth place in the Top 14, only four points behind a playoff spot, so they are very much in the hunt to finish in the top six this season. 

With nine games left to play in the league, Nadolo has the chance to make his mark.
