Leicester Tigers have completed the signing of Bristol prop Ellis Genge.
Genge was called up by England last week for their three-Test tour of Australia and is in line to make his Test debut against Wales on Sunday.
The 21-year-old prop was loaned to Leicester from Bristol earlier in the season and has now made the move permanent.
"Ellis has made a big impression in his time on loan with us," Leicester boss Richard Cockerill said. "He is very keen to learn and has an excellent work ethic.
"He earned his opportunities in the Tigers team towards the end of the season and is in a good place to continue to learn and improve with senior props including Marcos Ayerza, Dan Cole and Logovi'i Mulipola around him.
"He is a great young prospect and he seems to have found his home at Leicester in his time on loan with us.
"We hope he continues to build on that first impression and we look forward to seeing his development here."
