#4. Josh Bassett (Leicester Tigers)

Bassett will join Leicester Tigers this summer following the end of his short-term Quins contract.

Joining the Club in October from Wasps, Bassett joined Harlequins on a temporary deal until the end of the current season and will return to the Midlands with Leicester. 

So far this season Bassett has represented Harlequins on nine occasions across the Gallagher Premiership and Heineken Champions Cup, scoring three tries. 

Commenting on the news of his next move at the end of the season, Bassett said: “Joining Harlequins has been a fantastic experience and I’m enjoying training and playing with this squad every day.

“While I am excited for the new challenge with Leicester next season and returning to my family in the Midlands, I’m looking forward to the rest of the campaign with Quins. This is an exciting squad that plays a great brand of rugby and I’m looking forward to finishing the season strongly in the Quartered jersey.”
