Former Leicester back Niall Morris has joined Leinster on a short-term deal.

Morris, who joined the Tigers from Leinster back in 2011, has played for the Emerging Ireland side three times and is looking forward to running out for the Guinness PRO12 finalists.

"After five enjoyable years in England, I am delighted to return to my home province, Leinster," Morris said. "I know the club well and it has fantastic players, staff and supporters. It is one of the biggest clubs in Europe and I am very much looking forward to being part of such a great set-up, again."

Leinster boss Leo Cullen added: "Niall was unlucky with injuries in his last season in England but has performed at a very high level for the Tigers in both the Premiership and in the Champions Cup.

"He brings good experience to our back three, an area that is already very competitive and we look forward to seeing Niall in action on a pitch soon."
