Tindall signs new Gloucester deal
England centre Mike Tindall has signed a new three-year deal with Guinness Premiership leaders Gloucester.
It means the 29-year-old, a World Cup winner in 2003, is set to stay at Kingsholm until at least 2011.
Tindall said the emergence of a new generation of talent was central to his decision to stay.
"There is so much we want to achieve as a group of players and I want to see this job through. We have only really just scratched the surface," he said.

"Gloucester fans, good news I'm guessing, surely he's just the man to help bring on your youngsters?"
JS
"Seeing the likes of Anthony Allen, James Simpson-Daniel and Ryan Lamb and the things they can do is fantastic, it is keeping me young.
"It is just great to be involved with a club which plays rugby the way we do. It gives players freedom to express themselves and I think that is why we are being successful."
Tindall joined the club from Bath in 2005 and helped them to the 2006 European Challenge Cup.
