Burns returns to Leicester as kicking coach three weeks after retiring

Freddie Burns, whose stoppage-time drop-goal won Leicester Tigers the 2022 Premiership final against Saracens, has returned to the club as kicking coach — three weeks after announcing his retirement from playing. The five-cap England fly-half replaces Alex Davies, who left for Wales' staff, and will work with first-team and academy kickers under head coach Geoff Parling, a former team-mate.
