Tigers confirm new deals for Cracknell, Clare and Hamer-Webb

Olly Cracknell, Charlie Clare and Gabriel Hamer-Webb have signed new contracts with Leicester Tigers.

Number eight Cracknell extends his stay at the end of a superb 2025 which saw him be called up by Wales for the first time in October.

Hooker Clare has been a consistent high-quality performer in the Tigers front row in his six years with the club, while outside back Hamer-Webb is rewarded for the endeavour shown since moving to Mattioli Woods Welford Road this summer.

Head Coach Geoff Parling said: "These are three important signings and we're delighted Olly, Charlie and Gabe will continue their commitment to the club.

"Olly and Charlie are experienced players whose persistent hard work means they continue to improve, while Gabe has shown he has talent and a great attitude in his time with us so far."

At 31, Cracknell's resilience and drive to improve has seen him make 72 appearances for Tigers since joining from London Irish in 2022, scoring eight tries.

His form earned him a place in Wales's squad this Autumn. He made his long-awaited debut off the bench against Argentina and won the player of the match award after starting against Japan.

Clare, 34 this week, is a Leicester Tigers Academy graduate who returned to the club in 2019 from Championship side Bedford Blues. He was a title winner with Tigers in 2022 and now has 133 first team appearances to his credit.

Hamer-Webb, 25, joined from Cardiff this year, making three early season appearances and showing the ability to challenge for a first team place. His two seasons at Cardiff saw him score 12 tries from 24 appearances in the United Rugby Championship, Investec Champions Cup and EPCR Challenge Cup.
