FORMER England U20 international Tom Hardwick, who has been without a club since leaving Leicester Tigers in March, could be off to France next season.
Hardwick, who made the last of his 32 appearances for the Tigers against Gloucester in September 2020, is the son of former England prop Rob Hardwick.
He had his contract with the Tigers terminated after appearing to be critical of them on social media and took legal advice, a matter which is now believed to have been settled.
Hardwick, who had been considering joining brother Will at Leeds Tykes and studying barbering, is interesting Albi who are currently playing in the French third tier.
