Mike Brown signs new Tigers deal

Leicester Tigers have agreed a new deal with Mike Brown which will see the outside back remain at the club beyond the current season.

Brown joined Tigers on a short-term contract midway through the current campaign and, to date, has made 5 appearances and scored two tries.

The England international made the move to Leicester after stints with Harlequins, where he won two Premiership titles, and Newcastle Falcons.

Brown made 72 Test appearances for England between 2007-2018 during which he won three Six Nations titles.

Speaking about the new deal for Brown, Leicester Tigers Interim Head Coach Richard Wigglesworth said: “I am really pleased for Mike, who has earned the new deal with not only his performances in games but in the way he has come into the club and added to our group.”

“His experience has been invaluable and the professionalism he has is something that we have seen help improve his team mates here at the club.

“The circumstances in which Mike returned were unique and challenging, but you would never known by the way he has approached each day and this contract is just reward for that hard work.”
