Jack Willis' agent working around the clock as third Premiership club joins the race to sign him

Another great club of English rugby have been linked with interest in signing England international flanker Jack Willis.

Bristol Bears director of rugby Pat Lam and Leicester Tigers head coach Steve Borthwick are both big fans of the turnover specialist who is a free agent after Wasps went into administration last month, making 167 members of staff redundant, but both are understood to be struggling to fit the star man into their squads under the £5m salary cap.

French Top 14 giants Toulouse are also reported to be interested in the 2019/20 Gallagher Premiership Player of the Season and now The Rugby Paper reports that Northampton Saints are keen to add Willis to their ranks in what could be an appealing move for the 25-year-old as he would be able to join the club without needing to relocate his young family.
