Leicester Tigers have announced the signing of Leeds number eight Jordan Crane.
Tigers forwards coach Richard Cockerill believes 19-year-old Crane, who has captained England at Under-18 and Under-19 level, will prove to be an astute signing.
"Jordan is the outstanding back row forward of his age group and comes to us very highly rated," said Cockerill.
"He’s looking to further his career in the Premiership after Leeds were relegated, and we believe he can develop into a world-class forward to complement the players we already have in the squad."
