Back-rower Lachlan McCaffrey has agreed a move to Leicester Tigers ahead of the 2015/16 season.Able to play across the back row, McCaffrey is a former Australia Under-20s cap and had spells with Super Rugby sides Waratahs, Western Force and the Brumbies before spending 2014/15 in the Aviva Premiership with London Welsh.
The 25-year-old is English qualified and will join up with his new team-mates at Tigers this summer in preparation for the new season.
Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: “Lachlan is an athletic, ball-playing back-rower with the ability to play in a few positions, which is important in the squad.
“He’s had some experience of the English club game this season and we think there is more to come from him in this environment.”
McCaffrey said: "I am delighted to be joining a club with the tradition of Leicester. Growing up back home they were always the team to watch and this a great opportunity for me to develop as a player going forward."
