Sale Sharks have signed Laurence Pearce from Leicester Tigers for next season.
The 25-year-old has played 26 games for the Tigers since joining from Rotherham in 2014.
The new follows the announcement that Sharks wing Tom Brady will be moving to Welford Road next season.
“He is a dynamic ball-carrier, who will boost our already abrasive back five. I am so pleased Laurence has signed for us,” Sale director of rugby Steve Diamond said.
Pearce added: “I am delighted to be moving north to play for Sharks.
“I would like to thank Leicester Tigers for giving me the opportunity to play in the Premiership and also the fans, who have been great to me since I joined from Rotherham.”
