Leicester Tigers agree move for Phil Betham

Leicester Tigers confirmed that Australia international back Peter Betham has agreed a move to Welford Road next season.
The 26-year-old, who can play anywhere in the back three, will join from defending Super Rugby the Waratahs.
Born in Wellington, he made his Wallabies debut in a Bledisloe Cup fixture against the All Blacks in 2013.
He said: “I’m looking forward to joining Leicester Tigers at the end of my commitments in Australia.  It was a decision that I did not take lightly, having thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Waratahs and its success in recent years.
“The opportunity to join a prestigious club such as the Tigers is very exciting and humbling.
“The Aviva Premiership is a great competition which will help develop me as a player while I endeavour to add and contribute to the Leicester Tigers team and community.”
Leicester Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill added: “We have been looking to add to our strength in the back-three positions for next season and Peter is certainly able to do that.
“He is a big man at six feet four inches, a powerful runner with good pace, and he has been playing some good rugby for the Waratahs as well as reaching Test status with Australia.
“He’ll join us at the end of the Super Rugby season and we look forward to seeing him settle here ahead of the new campaign.”
