The Chicago Hounds confirmed the acquisition of Lindsey Stevens from the Toronto Arrows for 2023 Major League Rugby salary cap considerations on Thursday. Toronto acquired the former Los Angeles Giltinis hooker in the MLR Dispersal Draft before trading him to Chicago.

Stevens won the 2021 MLR championship with Los Angeles alongside his new Hounds teammate Luke Carty, Billy Meakes and Luke White.
