Leicester Tigers have completed the signing of fly-half Johnny McPhillips from Ulster Rugby.

The 22-year-old has made 24 appearances for Ulster in the last two seasons after playing a leading role in the Ireland Under-20s squad that reached the World Junior Championships Final in 2016.

Tigers head coach Geordan Murphy said: “Johnny was very well regarded as a young player in the Irish system and he has gained some good experience of senior rugby with Ulster.

“He has the ability to play at fly-half, centre and full-back, which adds to our options along the backline. He is a very bright young player, he is keen to make progress in the game and we’ll be delighted to welcome him on board this summer.”
