• Fly-half Lamb joins from defeated finalists Northampton
• Neil Briggs, Jamie Gibson and Owen Williams also sign
Leicester have announced that Ryan Lamb is among five signings who will join the newly crowned Aviva Premiership champions next season.
Hot on the heals of the acquisition of the French pair Jérôme Schuster and David Mélé from Perpignan, the Tigers have recruited the fly-half Lamb, hooker Neil Briggs, wing Gonzalo Camacho, back row Jamie Gibson and fly-half Owen Williams.
Briggs, Gibson and Lamb – who joins from Saturday's Premiership final victims Northampton – have played for England Saxons. Camacho is an established Argentina international, while Williams is a former Wales Under-20 player.
"It's important that we have good strength and depth in our squad to keep us competitive through a long season and we feel the new signings can all make a big contribution here," Leicester's director of rugby, Richard Cockerill, said."Four of those players have extensive Premiership experience, which is important, while Owen Williams is a young man with a lot of ability and potential which we believe can be developed within the Tigers squad."
