Matt Cornwell
Cornwell has offers from other Premiership clubs

Leicester Tigers centre Matt Cornwell and prop Alex Moreno will leave Welford Road this summer.

Cornwell has started only three games this season and wants to move to try to get more games, while Moreno is returning to Italy to join Calvisano.

Cornwell told BBC Radio Leicester: "I've got to stay in the Premiership because I want to play for England.

"At the moment, primarily, I don't want to go abroad but if that is the offer I'll take it."

Cornwell has not said which clubs he is in discussions with but he did reveal he was talking about his future.

"There's a few clubs, I've got options abroad, I've got options in the Premiership, down in London there's a few clubs," he said.

Moreno admitted he is disappointed to be leaving the Tigers.

He said: "I don't want to leave Leicester but if Leicester don't want me I have to move."
