Ireland winger Geordan Murphy is keen to agree a new long-term contract with Guinness Premiership leaders Leicester.
The 31-year-old Tigers captain, who is set to pen a three-year deal at Welford Road, is expected to star for his country in this weekend's Six Nations clash against Wales.
"It's a good offer and the club were happy to put it on the table," said Murphy. "I'm 31 now, so the new contract would take me to 35.
"The way I play the game helps. I've never been a big-bosh monster. I don't run into people and don't try to make any massive hits. I just try to get by with what I've been given.
"I'm playing well and enjoying my rugby. I missed my first World Cup (in 2003) through injury and in the last one I didn't see a lot of game time.
"I certainly want to be involved in the next one. I'll do whatever I can to get to that World Cup."
