England's Genge signs new deal with Leicester

Genge initially joined Leicester on loan from Bristol last year before making his move permanent and his impressive development has been rewarded with a new deal.

The 22-year-old made his Test debut against Wales 11 months ago, while he has been named in the England squad for the two-Test Argentina tour later this year.

"I came here to develop as a player and I feel I have come on a lot since I joined the club," Genge said.

"I've been learning all the time, working with people like Marcos Ayerza, Dan Cole and now Boris Stankovich.

"I just want to play rugby and I am enjoying it at Tigers. It's great to play at Welford Road with crowds of over 20 000 every week."
