Ex-England centre Tuilagi extends Bayonne deal

SPORTS 22.10.2025

Former England centre Manu Tuilagi has signed a contract extension to stay at Bayonne until 2027, the French Top 14 club announced on Wednesday.

Text size:

Tuilagi joined the Basque outfit a year ago and had been linked with a move to Leicester and the rebel R360 league.

The 34-year-old made the last of his 60 England appearances in 2024 but is ineligible to represent his country as he plays his club rugby abroad.

"Ageing like a fine wine," Bayonne said on social media.

"Our English centre will continue to torment defences and attacks next season," they added.

Tuilagi is part of an illustruous rugby-playing family which includes brothers Henry and Alesana who featured for Samoa and nephew Posolo Tuilagi, who represents France.

Manu Tuilagi's Bayonne face Bordeaux-Begles in the Top 14 on Saturday and sit two points off leaders Pau after seven rounds of the season.
