Former Leicester Tigers and England prop Dan Cole has taken up a backroom role with the club following his retirement as a player.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 38-year-old, whose final game for Tigers was their Premiership Final loss against Bath in June, becomes the new recruitment and retention manager.<\/p>\n
