Niall Morris extends Leicester Tigers stay

Leicester Tigers back Niall Morris pens fresh terms with the Aviva Premiership club.

Leicester Tigers have confirmed that back Niall Morris has signed a contract extension with the club.

The 26-year-old has scored 16 tries in 68 games for the Tigers since arriving at Welford Road from Leinster in 2011.

Leicester have refused to disclose the length of the Irishman's new terms.

"Niall has become a very valuable member of the squad in his four seasons here and continues to develop as a player," director of rugby Richard Cockerill told the club's official website.

"I'm delighted he has decided to stay with us. He is now in a core of players in their mid-20s who can help to drive this club on over the next few seasons."

Leicester are currently in fourth place in the Aviva Premiership table with two games of the regular season left to play.
