Le nouveau contrat le lie avec les Londoniens, son unique club professionnel, jusqu’en 2028, comme RugbyPass l’avait écrit dès le mois d’octobre.

Il avait disputé son premier match en première division en 2017 à 18 ans et 200 jours, le deuxième joueur le plus jeune de l’histoire en Angleterre. A 25 ans, il a porté le maillot à 166 reprises et marqué 1 505 points, dont 35 essais.

« Il a des moments d’éclat (…) qui peuvent faire gagner des matchs, ainsi qu’une capacité à gérer les matchs, ce qui lui a permis de devenir un demi d’ouverture international de premier plan », a salué son entraîneur Danny Wilson, cité dans le communiqué.

Ses performances lui ont ouvert la voie de la sélection anglaise, avec laquelle il compte 39 capes, et il a participé à la tournée des Lions britanniques en Afrique du Sud en 2021.

Pat Lam blasts 'archaic' process that lost the All Blacks Tony Brown

Now you are just being a woke, jealous fool. With the way things are run in NZ, no wonder he couldn't make a success there. Now that he is out shining any other New Zealanders, including their star players, now he is bitter and resentful and all sorts of hate speeches against him. That is what the fans like you do. Those in NZ who does have enough sense not to let pride cloud their vision, is all saying the same thing. NZ needs TB. Razor was made out to be a rugby coaching God by the fans, so much so that Foz was treated like the worst piece of shitte. Especially after the Twickenham disaster right before the WC. Ad then he nearly won the WC too with 14 players. As a Saffa the way he handled the media and the pressure leading up to the WC, was just extraordinary and I have gained a lot of respect for that man. Now your so called rugby coaching God managed to lose by an even bigger margin, IN NZ. All Razor does is overplay his players and he will never get the best out of those players, and let's face it, the current crop is good enough to be the best. However, they need an coach they can believe in completely. I don't think the players have bought into his coaching gig. TB was lucky to shake the dust of his boots when he left NZ, because only when he did that, did his career go from strength to strength. He got a WC medal to his name. Might get another if the Boks can keep up the good work. New exciting young talent is set to join soon after the WC as dangerous as SFM and Kolbe. Trust me, he doesn't want the AB's job. He is very happy in SA with the Boks. We score, you lose a great coach. We know quality when we see it, we don't chuck it in the bin like NZRU likes to do. Your coaching God is hanging on by a thread to keep his job🤣🤣🤣🤣
