Leicester Tigers have agreed terms with Thom Smith, allowing the back-rower an early release from his contract with the club to join Doncaster Knights on a full-time contract.
The 21-year-old has spent the opening months of the 21/22 season on loan at the Championship club.
Smith has made 10 senior appearance for Tigers since debuting during the 2018/19 Premiership Rugby Cup campaign after graduating from the club's academy programme.
