Scrum-half Julien Dupuy has completed a move from Biarritz in France to join Leicester Tigers.
A goal-kicking scrum-half, the 24-year-old Dupuy has gained Heineken Cup experience in the last four seasons with Biarritz, including the final of 2006 against Munster at the Millennium Stadium. He was also a Top 14 championship winner in 2005 and 2006.

This will be a big change for me after so long with Biarritz but I know Leicester Tigers is a massive club, said Dupuy.
I am very happy to sign for Leicester and I am looking forward to starting the pre-season work there and experiencing rugby in England.
Dupuy will contest the Tigers No9 shirt with England international Harry Ellis and England Under-20 cap Ben Youngs.
