Fred Tuilagi: Bedford sign nephew of England centre Manu

Must read

Tuilagi is the latest summer signing by Bedford, who finished fourth in the second tier of English rugby last season.

“We wanted to add a bit of firepower to the back row and Fred looks like he fits that bill in terms of that ball-carrying ability,” said director of rugby Mike Rayer.

“He’s been out of the English scene for a few years but wants to establish himself back in the game and see how he can kick his career on.”

Bedford have a home pre-season game against Blackheath on Friday before taking on Saracens and Northampton, Premiership champions for the past two seasons, on 6 and 13 September.

Their opening match of the new league season is at home to Caldy on 21 September.
