Leicester snap Dom Barrow from Newcastle

As revealed by Neil Fissler in The Rugby Paper on June 7, Leicester Tigers have secured the services of second-row forward Dom Barrow.
The 2013 World Junior Championship winner, 22, moves to Welford Road after two seasons spent at Newcastle where he made 26 appearances.
Falcons Director of Rugby Dean Richards commented: “We're bitterly disappointed at Dom's decision to leave but unfortunately despite our best efforts, discussions with his agent proved very difficult.
“As a result Dom has left us to join Leicester Tigers, where he will complete rehab following his ACL repair.
“Our Academy has produced a number of talented locks in recent years including Will Witty and Sean Robinson, both of whom made their Premiership debuts this season and will now have the opportunity to make an impact in the starting line up during Rugby World Cup at the start of next season.”
Tigers' director of rugby Richard Cockerill said: “We're delighted to be able to add Dom to the squad for next season. He is a big, athletic second row who has already gained Premiership Rugby experience and we think he can only improve working with a very good group of second rows here including Graham Kitchener, Ed Slater, Sebastian De Chaves and our new signings Mike Fitzgerald and Mike Williams.”
