Former South Africa captain Jean de Villiers is already convinced he made a "fantastic" decision to join Leicester.
The centre, who earned 109 international caps, has yet to play for Tigers after breaking his jaw during the pool stages of the 2015 World Cup.
But, while he will not feature in the home Boxing Day game against Newcastle, De Villiers is almost ready to play and is still enjoying his new surroundings.
"The club is a great organisation," the 34-year-old told BBC Radio Leicester.
"But I have just been quite frustrated at not getting on the field yet."
De Villiers initially turned down a move to Welford Road because he did not think it was the "right fit".
However, after talking to a number of people with links to Tigers - including former Leicester and Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer - De Villiers changed his mind.Wednesday, December 23, 2015
