Leeds have completed their third signing of the off-season with the capture of Dan Hemingway.

Hemingway: Moving to Leeds

The 22-year-old flanker will make the switch from Leicester, although he has spent the past two seasons on a dual registration deal at Nottingham.

And having agreed a two-year deal at Headingley, Hemingway believes Leeds can bounce back to the Premiership at the first attempt.

He said: "I am really pleased to be joining Leeds Carnegie and I am excited about the potential we have here.

"It was a big decision for me to move away from Leicester having been part of the system there all my professional career but the vision here at Leeds Carnegie is something that I really want to buy into and I am looking forward to a fresh start here and the chance to get some game time under my belt next season.

"From my time at Nottingham, I know it is going to be a tough for us this season but the squad that Diccon Edwards is assembling looks to have a good balance to it and hopefully I can prove my worth during pre-season and stake a claim for the start of the season."

Hemingway follows Joe Ford (Northampton) and Stevie McColl (Doncaster) in joining Leeds.
