 Smith had been frustrated by being played on the wing |
England centre Ollie Smith is reported to be close to agreeing a new contract with Leicester Tigers. BBC Radio Leicester claims the 22-year-old is ready to commit his future to the Premiership leaders.
His commitment comes despite featuring for Leicester on the wing for most of this season - which he believes has damaged his England prospects.
Tigers fly-half Sam Vesty has agreed a new three year deal, and forward Will Johnson has been awarded a benefit.
