Yes but now he has been called into the Wales squad, if he wants to continue playing for them, when his contract is next up for renewal, he will need to sign for a Welsh club.

Playing in England has prevented him from being called up nor Worcester Josh Adams being called up also Garland moves on after the World Cup and we don’t know what the New coaches thoughts will be

Yes but it clearly says he has signed an extension thereby keeping him at Leicester until such a time it expires.

I don’t think we can expect Holmes to commit for life so this is the best we can expect.

And I think this is another sign of the respect that's growing for Geordie amongst the players.

That is great news for Tigers! If we want to become a great team again, players like Holmes staying is a must. We can’t have the same squad turnover year on year and expect to improve with no consistency in players.
