Peterson Signs With Leicester

The Premiership now has it's tenth American as Greg Peterson has signed with Leicester. We broke the news a few weeks back that he was on trial and The Leicester Mercury confirmed today that he has a contract that runs through the end of the season. Peterson was most recently the captain of the North Harbour Rays in the National Rugby Championship and had been a part of the larger Waratahs group in previous seasons making one five minute appearance. He was of course capped for the Eagles in November making three appearances. Peterson has a connection to Leicester through defense coach Phil Blake who was also at Manly with Peterson.
