Ford initially signed what was rumoured to be a £600k 2 year deal in January 2020. So that would have taken him to the end of this season if rumours were correct. Tigers then reported he had "extended his contract for the long term" in July 2020 during the contract re-negotiations.OakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 2:05 pmI believe he signed a 2 year contract last summer which would take him to summer 2022. Lots of talk about him wanting to stay at Tigers until the end of his International career. That would all tie in with the speculation that he may be off at the end of the season although I’ve not heard anything concreteScott1 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 1:48 pmShame,love him as a player! Do you know Ford's contract status mate, when it's up I think hes off if he doesn't get picked for England. The timing will be right. I'm getting the end of next season for some reasonOakhamTiger32 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 18, 2021 1:43 pm Not really for this thread but see that Faf De Klerk is out for 5 months!
Given Tigers don't release contract lengths it's impossible to know though.
His extended contract was signed when England appearance fees were still £25k per appearance. So Ford could realistically have been planning for around £250k a season on top of his Tigers deal when he agreed it.
