“Coming through the academy here, I get to come into work every day, play for a great club with my mates and I’m excited to work with (head coach) Dan (McKellar) and develop in the program that we have here.

“It was great to get back on the field last week and Exeter (on Saturday) is another big challenge for our group.

“Playing for this club in Leicester is special. I’m looking forward to getting back home to Mattioli Woods Welford Road.”

Nottingham-born Martin has made 69 appearances in all competitions for Leicester and stepped off the bench in the 2021-22 Premiership final.

Nations Championship: 'The data shows the north has finally caught up with the south'

The Six Nations produced so many compelling games and so much of action packed moments that you can only conclude that its the best international comp out there at the moment except for a world cup. If Wales improve it will be even better especially given the strides Italy have made in recent times. The Rugby Championship is now taking a hiatus in a year it really should be building toward something better which is terrible considering the competition was so tight last year. The Nations Champs promises much but one gets the feeling that the 6 Nations teams will not be at their peak given its at the end of their long season. In terms of rugby quality and entertainment Id rather watch the 6 Nations over everything else other than a world cup right now. The North arguably offers more in terms of entertainment than the South at club level as well. The Prem, the Champs Cup, URC and Top 14 all feature plenty of scoring and different playing styles while Super Rugby seems to be the same thing game in game out. While the South tries to speed up the game artificially with new trials and law variations the North has shown you can do it with good refereeing which penalises cynical play harshly and encourages positive actions on the field. In terms of entertainment the North wins. In terms of winning? They are making strides but until they win another world cup or get a team to rank number 1 again for an extended time again they cant really say they are better than the South.
