Pollard 'happy' at Tigers, but unsure of future

Handre Pollard made his Test debut for South Africa in 2014

Two-time World Cup winner Handre Pollard says he is unsure about his future at Leicester, but adds that he is relishing playing under Tigers boss Michael Cheika.

The 30-year-old South Africa fly-half has been linked with a move away from the East Midlands next summer when his contract is reportedly due to expire.

When Pollard was asked by BBC Radio Leicester if he knows where his future lies, the playmaker replied: "I have no idea.

"I can tell you the truth, I do not know yet what I'm doing or where I'm going. I'm just happy being at Leicester and I will enjoy every minute I have here."

But Pollard hopes to "get it sorted in the near future".

"I'm sure my agent is having discussions, but it's nothing with me," he added.

"I'm not involved in those yet, but we'll see."

Pollard, who helped South Africa to 2019 and 2023 World Cup triumphs, has been with Tigers since 2022.

He joined the club from French side Montpellier just months after Leicester won the latest of their 11 Premiership titles.

Pollard has featured 37 times across all competitions for Tigers so far, with four coming under former Australia and Argentina boss Cheika this season.

He praised the Australian - who took over on a year-long contract in the summer - for the "positive environment" he has fostered in his few months at the helm.

"I'm really enjoying playing and all the boys, everyone, is enjoying it," said Pollard. "And you can't underestimate how important that is.

"We have to play hard and be on it every week, but the enjoyment element of it is so important in a rugby group in a long season like we have these days.

"That brings the best out of everybody."
