Cambridge have signed lock Ien Ascroft-Leigh from Newbury Blues to strengthen their second row after the departure of Karl Rudski to Esher.

The 22-year-old has spent his entire rugby career working his way up the ranks at Newbury.

He told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire: "I've come to a point now where it's time to move on and try a different challenge.

"Cambridge's style of decision making, heads-up rugby is the type of rugby I've been taught to play since a colt."
