STATEMENT: Leicester Tigers complete double signing with immediate effect

The front-rower joins the club after most recently playing for Wasps, who he represented between 2016 - 2022 after graduating from the club's academy programme, while also spending time on loan with Nottingham Rugby.

West was selected as part of the England Under-20s squad in 2015 and 2016 before being called into the senior national squad in 2021.

Speaking about the addition of West, Richard Wigglesworth said: "Tom is an experienced Premiership player who we are delighted to have on board for the remainder of this season."

"He adds some much-needed depth in the front-row, where we have injuries and the potential for players away during the Six Nations, as well as helping continue healthy competition for places.

"As well as what he can offer us up front, on the field, Tom is a great young man who will be a positive addition to the club in many more ways."

The club have also confirmed the addition of South African youngster, Cameron Miell.

The versatile forward, who has played throughout the pack, joins the Leicester Tigers Senior Academy from Paul Roos Gimnasium in Stellenbosch where he was a member of the school's first team for the past two seasons. 

Speaking about joining Leicester Tigers, Miell said: "I am delighted to be awarded this fantastic opportunity with Leicester Tigers and cannot wait to test myself and learn in such a world-class environment."
