Leicester have signed Argentina prop Joel Sclavi from La Rochelle for the 2026-27 season.
Sclavi, 31, has won the Champions Cup twice with the French side, as well as the Top 14, and has played 33 times for his country.
“I’m proud and happy to be part of a club with so much history and identity,” he said. “I am really looking forward to what is ahead at Leicester Tigers.”
Tigers boss Geoff Parling said: “We know how highly we value our set-piece, so we were looking at someone who could add both quality and depth on both sides of the scrum, of which Joel’s size and strength will be a real asset.
“After proving himself in the Top 14 he was hungry for a new challenge.”
