SCOTLAND INTERNATIONAL DAVID Denton will leave Worcester Warriors for Leicester Tigers at the end of the current Premiership season.
The 28-year-old joined Worcester from rivals Bath last May, but he has already agreed a deal to join Leicester for the start of the 2018-19 campaign.
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.

Denton is a back rower, change the headline
Maybe the experts can tell me how many times Denton has played in the second row?
@Jim Demps: you’re the only expert here Jim.
On paper Leicester will have a fantastic squad next year. I don’t think it will change their standing in the league however. MOC’s bosh tactics are outdated and boring
@Kendo90: are you including Denton in that? He has been very poor for a couple of seasons.
@The Irish Pain: I guess. I’m looking at the whole squad really.
Denton has been topping all the stats at Worcester the last while, even if that isn’t the best barometer to go by. And it has been enough to earn him an international recall
I wouldnt be too excited over this signing if i was a leicester fan, good squad player do
