Double-chasing Leicester have bolstered their back row options ahead of the business end of the season by snapping up the relatively unknown Sean Jansen on a short-term contract. The 22-year-old joins Tigers from the Otago Rugby Football Union in New Zealand.
A Leicester statement read: “Capable of playing across the back row, Jansen attended Otago Boys High and played his junior rugby with North Island RFC and represented North Otago. In 2021, the Dunedin-born forward won Otago’s development forward of the year award. Jansen joins Tigers effective immediately.”
Jansen said: “I was blown away when the offer first came and after a chat with Steve (Borthwick), I was even more excited about this opportunity to join a club as big as Leicester Tigers.”
