Final piece: Tuilagi signs four-year Sale deal

Sale Sharks have stuck to their word and completed the signing of Samoan international Anitelia Tuilagi on a four-year contract.

Tuilagi can play at either centre or wing and made seven appearances for Leeds Carnegie last season after moving to Yorkshire from Leicester.

And the 22-year-old, who was part of Samoa's World Cup squad last year, completes the Sharks' impressive off-season recruitment drive.

"Andy is a great acquisition for the club," said club Director of Rugby Philippe Saint-Andre.

"He is young, strong and has played at international level."
