The ambitious Championship club have signed the 34-year-old until the end of 2016 with an option to extend the deal by a further 12 months.
Higham, who previously played for Leigh over a decade ago, could make his second debut for the club in the Summer Bash game against Featherstone at Bloomfield Road on Sunday.
He said: "I left Warrington with a heavy heart, but as everyone knows a rugby career is very short, so the opportunity at Leigh in terms of my family's future was too good to turn down."
Injury-hit Hull KR have bolstered their depleted pack with the signing of Wigan prop James Greenwood on loan to the end of the season.
