Leicester Tigers have signed Samoa prop Nephi Leatigaga and former academy captain Charlie Clare for next season.

Leatigaga, 25, most recently played for French side Biarritz and has also had a spell with Piacenza in Italy.

"Tigers has a big history of producing some of the game's best front rowers and have a big focus on that part of the game," he said.

Hooker Clare, 27, has played for Northampton and Bedford since leaving Welford Road.

He told the club website: ""Geordan [Murphy, head coach] has such a passion for the club and I want to be a part of what he's building at the club."

Front rower Leatigaga won the last of his five Samoa caps in July 2017.
