Leicester Tigers have signed Sean Jansen on a short-term contract with immediate effect.
The 22-year-old joins Tigers from Otago Rugby Football Union in New Zealand.
Capable of playing across the back-row, Jansen attended Otago Boys High and played his junior rugby with North Island RFC and represented North Otago.
In 2021, the Dunedin-born forward won Otago’s Development Forward of the Year award.
Speaking about the opportunity to join Leicester Tigers, Jansen said: "I was blown away when the offer first came and, after a chat with Steve, I was even more excited about this opportunity to join a club as big as Leicester Tigers."

He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
