Leicester academy stars handed new contracts
Leicester have confirmed academy products Andy Forsyth, Ryan Bower, Jonny Harris, Alex Lewington and Jimmy Stevens have all agreed new deals to remain at the Tigers.
The quintet have all gone on to gain vital experience this season, with 21-year-old centre Forsyth approaching 20 first-team appearances.
Winger Lewington, hooker Stevens, and props Bower and Harris have also been given their chances to shine - with director of rugby Richard Cockerill impressed with the young talents.
He told the club's official site: "This club has an impressive record of bringing players through from the Academy system and nurturing their talents so they are prepared to play at the top level.
"We need good depth to our squad in a long and tough season, and whatever we achieve is down to the contributions of every member of the squad, from these youngest guys right through to the senior internationals.
"I look forward to seeing their continued development as players and we know they are in the perfect environment at Tigers to do that."
