The Tigers have announced that Springbok Junior of the Year Corné Beets has signed a long-term contract with the club.

Beets, 20, is regarded as one of the top prospects in South African rugby, having been a standout performer wearing the number eight shirt for his country at last year’s U20 World Championships, scoring a try in the third-place playoff against England.

Beets played his school rugby at Paarl Gymnasium in South Africa’s Western Cape province, the same school as future team-mate, two-time World Cup winner Handré Pollard.

Corné Beets said: “The incredible opportunity to become a member of the prestigious Leicester Tigers family excites me. “
