Leeds Carnegie have signed Erik Lund from last season's National League One rivals Rotherham Titans on a two-year deal.

Erik is the older brother of the England and Sale flanker Magnus (pictured right).

The 6ft 8in Norwegian capped lock made 24 appearances for the Yorkshire side who finished runners-up to the Tykes last season.

Lund now joins former Titans team-mates Joe Bedford, Adam Hopcroft and Hendre Fourie who also signed for the newly-promoted side this summer.

The 27-year-old said: "I am looking forward to playing against my brother. We have already had a bit of banter about it.

"This will be the first time that I have been full-time with my rugby and I am really looking forward to the opportunity."
