England junior to team up with his older brother at Meadow Lane
Nottingham have completed a second raid on neighbours Leicester by agreeing a deal with versatile back Joe Cobden.
The England Under-16 and Under-18 conference squad member has agreed a 12-month deal with the Championship outfit, where his older brother Jack is already an established member of the squad.
The 19-year-old made his first-team debut for the Tigers in 2009 and Nottingham director of rugby Glenn Delaney is pleased to have lured him to Meadow Lane.
"He is a very exciting player and will bring added depth and ability to our back line being able to play in many positions in the backline," Delaney told the club's official site.
"I believe Joe will fit very well into our club and having Jack here will help with his transition to Nottingham."
Cobden follows Joe Duffey in making the move to Nottingham in the summer, with the hooker having played for Leicester last season.
