Newcastle Red Bulls have signed Fiji winger Joji Nasova on a two-year contract from the start of next season.
Nasova, 25, has scored four tries in three internationals after moving over from the sevens circuit.
He had been part of the Fiji team that took the silver medal at the 2024 Olympics in Paris in rugby sevens.
Nasova is playing for Fijian Drua in this year's Super Rugby before making the move to Kingston Park.
"Joji is an electrifying runner who can really help spark our attack into life," Red Bulls sporting general manager Neil McIlroy told the club's website, external.
"I'm sure our supporters will enjoy the X-factor he brings on the field and we're really excited about the impact he can have here."
Nasova's arrival continues Newcastle's heavy recruitment drive for next season, which is now into double figures.
But the side remain bottom of the Prem table this campaign after a 73-14 thrashing by Saracens on Saturday.
