Newby has three caps for New Zealand

Leicester Tigers new arrival Craig Newby says he is relishing the chance to be involved in the Heineken Cup.

Newby told BBC Radio Leicester: "I was still enjoying rugby in New Zealand but I needed a change as I was getting a bit stale and comfortable.

"I'm really excited to be here but I just want to get out there and perform my role without mistakes."

Leicester agreed a deal to sign the 29-year-old back rower from Otago Highlanders in the summer.
