"We would like to get someone in these circumstances," the club's head of operations, Simon Cohen, was quoted as saying on thisisleicestershire.co.uk. "Of those players who are available at this time of the year, many are up-and-coming players with a lot of talent. But we need someone who is ready pretty soon. In an ideal world, we would get someone who is the right fit and who can not only fulfil a role for the next couple of months, but who can also contribute to the squad for the rest of the season. That person is hard to find."
The two-time Heineken Cup champions open their European campaign with an away tie against Benetton Treviso on Saturday 9 October. Their other Pool 5 opponents are Perpignan and Scarlets.
