Denton is a member of the Scotland squad currently competing in the Six Nations, with the 36-cap back-rower lining up on the bench for Sunday’s 32-26 win over France.
Upon the announcement of his future move to Leicester, he predicted a bright future for the 10-time Premiership champions.
“I’m really excited to be joining Leicester Tigers next season,” Denton told the club’s official website.
“The club has a rich and celebrated history as well as a squad that is very capable of winning more trophies over the next few years.”
Leicester are languishing in eighth place this season after a poor run of just one win in six Premiership matches.
