Ben joined Glasgow from Aberdeen GSFP in 2005. He moved to Rotherham two seasons ago and had signed for Nottingham at the start of the summer before Leinster took him on for the upcoming season.
Leinster Manager Guy Easterby commented: “We are pleased to complete a deal for Ben and he will add further competition to the pack, especially in light of the unfortunate long-term injury to Stan Wright. Ben trained with the squad this week and we are confident that his experience and ability will be a welcome addition to the panel for the remainder of the season.”
