Overview
- Leicester confirmed the signing of the 35-year-old fly-half, who trained this week and could feature against Northampton on Saturday.
- New Tigers head coach Geoff Parling, previously a Wallabies assistant, was instrumental in persuading O'Connor to make the move.
- A switch to No.10 and strong 2025 form with the Reds and Crusaders earned him an Australia recall for the Rugby Championship.
- He appeared in all six Championship rounds, starting three Tests, before flying to England to link up with Leicester.
- O'Connor says he wants Premiership game time and a mentoring role, while keeping the door open to further Wallabies selection if asked.
