Dubliner Morris extends Tigers contract

Leicester Tigers back Niall Morris has agreed a new contract with the Aviva Premiership club.

The 24-year-old Dubliner, who moved to Welford Road from Leinster in 2011, has scored seven tries in 26 appearances for Leicester, including two in last Saturday’s league victory at London Irish.

Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill said of the wing/full-back: “Niall made a big decision to leave Ireland and come to Leicester last summer and he has been been a very important member of the squad here for the last two seasons.

“He has been improving the whole time with us. He is a good young player who is developing really well and doing a good job for us.”
