England fly-half George Ford is reportedly on the verge of rejoining Leicester Tigers on a three-year contract.

Bath No 10 Ford has been linked with a move away from The Rec since November last year after it emerged he was upset at the way his father, Mike, was dismissed.

Sale Sharks were thought to be the front-runners to sign the 23 year-old, but The Times is now claiming Ford has agreed a deal with the Tigers worth around £450,000 a season.
