England players Alex Coles and Asher Opoku-Fordjour are among a wider group of 25 who receive enhanced contracts from the Rugby Football Union (RFU), according to reports.
The RFU is awarding the improved deals to multiple players, including five who are receiving enhanced contracts for the first time. Coles and Opoku-Fordjour are identified as two of those players making their first move to the upgraded contract structure. Other outlets report the same overall figure of 25 England players and highlight the inclusion of first-time enhanced-contract recipients as part of the RFU’s approach.
