Tuesday 1 March 2016 14:42, UK
Sale Sharks have signed Laurence Pearce from Leicester, with the forward moving to the north west in the summer.
Pearce joined the Tigers from Rotherham in the summer of 2014, and has played 26 games for the club, scoring eight tries, four of them this season.
Pearce has also played for Hull FC in Super League.
Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond told the club's website: "Laurence is a dynamic ball carrier who will boost our already abrasive back five.
"I am so pleased Laurence has signed for us and I am sure he will be a rock in our back row."
Pearce said: "I'm delighted to be moving north to play for the Sharks.
"I would like to thank Leicester Tigers for giving me the opportunity to play in the Premiership and also the fans who have been great to me since I joined Tigers from Rotherham."
