Prop star Smith to leave the Tigers and link up with Sharks
Western Mail
|December 17, 2025
WALES prop Nicky Smith has signed for English club Sale Sharks.
The 31-year-old has now decided to leave Leicester Tigers to take up a new three-year contract offer with Sale.
Smith has been a first-choice player at Leicester over the past two seasons after joining from the Ospreys.
The 59-times-capped Wales international is one of the most destructive scrummaging looseheads in the Gallagher Prem who had previously been linked with a move to rebel league R360 and a handful of French clubs.
But he has decided his future lies in Salford and Smith will join a strong Sale Sharks squad.
