I'm sure about 4 years - its at least a year too long.

The new deal will include exemptions for being part of the England Knights performance squad so happy days.

What does exemptions mean?

Definitely your most improved & consistent player; some times the only player who came out of a game with any credit. Player of the season IMO, without being the most talented.

From what I’ve seen of him he looks a decent player, knows where the tryline is and makes good metres, defensively isn’t the best but can work on that

Its were we are at , a decent lad who tries hard but would never have got near the team a few years ago . Has improved and is probably our most consistent player this year . Another contract that is too long though , do we never learn !

Happy with this, think theres still some improvement in him, dont think he's even grew into his frame yet. In a couple of year when hes 25/26 i think he'l be a very good winger for us.

It's fine in the context of the current team. I'd hope that we're challenging for honours in the next 4 years. I'm not sure he's a title winning winger really.

I'd love to be proven wrong though

4 years! Should have been 2 max.No issue with the contract renewal but as others have said he would not get near a top 8 team nor have got near our team of just a few years ago.

Offering long term deals to mediocre players from here is not the way to go imo.

20 appearances & 13 tries for the treble winning side doesn't rule out the possibility.
