LIONS COMPLETE FOR ’23

LEICESTER have finalised their Premiership line-up with the signings of Australian duo Justin Sedgmen and Jake Allen.

Sedgmen (pictured) was part of the Sheffield team which finished runners-up in this year’s Grand Final before lifting the League Cup, whilst Allen’s most recent full-time berth in the top-flight was with Ipswich, who he helped reach the title decider three years ago.

Lions boss Stewart Dickson said: “We’ve gone with a team that I think gives us overall strength, and I think we’ve got scoring power where we need it.

“What we’ve also got is an experienced team with the exception of Dan Thompson, which you’re never going to have with a Rising Star, and I’m very happy with Dan in that position.

“I look at the other sides and I think it’s going to be very competitive, but I’m pleased with what we’ve been able to put together.”
