England centre Guy Porter looks set to return to Australia this summer with the view to representing the Wallabies.
Porter, who won his sixth England cap in the World Cup warmup against Wales, is one of 10 players leaving Leicester this summer.
Porter moved to Australia when he was seven and played for Sydney University while he studied law. He had a spell with the ACT Brumbies before joining the Tigers, where he has made 65 appearances.
Fellow centre Matt Scott, who has 40 Scotland caps, wing Ben Woollett, scrum-half Joe Powell, hooker Nic Dolly, lock Mike Williams and props Francois van Wyk and Dan Richardson are also leaving, along with No.8 Jasper Wiese and centre Phil Cokanasiga who is joining the Ospreys.
“All these lads have made massive contributions to the club,” said Tigers general manager Richard Wilks.
