HOWARTH BACK TO LEAD LIONS

KYLE Howarth has secured a return to Leicester for the 2022 Championship season.

Howarth is set to remain as club captain and news of his signing means the Lions have just one place remaining in their line-up.

He said: “I’m well pleased to be going back to Leicester because I enjoyed it there last season.

“I like everything about the club and it was a no-brainer for me when the chance was there for me to go back in 2022.

“We’re looking like a good team again, Richie Worrall is a great signing and I’m looking forward to getting stuck in.

“We had a pretty good season in ‘21, so I’m hoping we can build on that and improve that little bit more and win something next year.”
