Leicester Tigers fly-half Orlando Bailey says he is “excited” by the way “top leader” Geoff Parling wants the club’s much-changed squad to play.<\/b><\/p>\n
Former England and British and Irish Lions lock Parling, who was assistant coach with Australia until August, has taken charge of a new-look coaching team and playing group.<\/p>\n
“They’ve all been very welcoming and it’s been good fun,” Bailey told BBC Radio Leicester. <\/p>\n
He added that he “wasn’t sure how accepted it would be” to join from Bath, where he made his debut as an 18-year-old and spent five years as a senior player. <\/p>\n
“Moving to a rugby club, you automatically gain 30 or 40 friends, which does make the whole process easier,” he said.<\/p>\n
“There was a bit of congestion at Bath in the fly-half position with Finn Russell, who’s an amazing player.<\/p>\n
“I still managed to chip in off the bench but I had a few injuries last season, which was very frustrating and left me thinking I needed a bit of a fresh start.<\/p>\n
“I wasn’t getting the game time I wanted to develop as a player and see where I could go.<\/p>\n
“I spoke to Geoff and it sounded like an exciting new chapter for the club and something I wanted to be a part of.<\/p>\n
“He’s a really top leader and he’s got a good hold on the group already. It’s a massive club – one of the biggest in England.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
