The 31-year-old played a key role in England's march to the 2007 World Cup final and has turned down several clubs to stay at Welford Road.

"I had a few offers but I didn't really go out with the intention of shopping myself around," Chuter said.

"We've still got unfinished business in terms of winning trophies. Everyone's still hungry for more trophies."

He added: "I don't have that need to go elsewhere because there's still a lot I can achieve at Leicester."

606: DEBATE No Chuter for England. No Kay. No Moody. No Ellis. No White. No Smith. No Varndell. No Hipkiss. Leicester sure do talk big about their players, but where are they, either crocked or not selected mikeyphil

Chuter joined the Tigers in 2001 from Saracens and has made 141 appearances for last season's double winners.

He played in all of England's seven games at the World Cup, taking his number of international caps to 19, but has since slipped behind Mark Regan and Lee Mears in the pecking order.

Club colleagues Lewis Moody, Marcos Ayerza, Martin Castrogiovanni and Jordan Crane have all signed new deals with Leicester in the last two months.

And Tigers forwards coach Richard Cockerill was thrilled Chuter has followed suit.

He added: "George is a world-class player and we're delighted that he's decided to stay.

"I know he's had a lot of interest from other clubs but he's been with us for seven years now.
