Leicester fly-half Searle agrees new contract

Leicester Tigers have agreed fresh terms on a contract extension with England A fly-half Billy Searle. The 30-year-old playmaker arrived at the Premiership side from French outfit Agen back in 2025, delivering an impressive debut campaign in which he registered 217 points across 24 outings in all competitions.

Those displays also led to his shortlisted nomination for the 2025-26 Premiership player of the season.

Tigers head coach Geoff Parling praised Searle via the team's official site, commending both his attacking flair and astute game management, while particularly highlighting his professional mindset and hunger for continuous improvement. Expressing delight over his opening year with the organization, Searle noted that committing his future was straightforward, though Leicester have chosen not to disclose the precise duration of the agreement.
