Worcester Warriors have signed Bay of Plenty hooker Aleki Lutui on a two-year deal starting in early September. The Tongan international, 28, will complete the Warriors' recruitment for the new Premiership season.
"He fits the mould of hookers that we employ, in as much as he's a big physical character," said Worcester director of rugby John Brain.
"He'll give us an option as a ball carrier and in defence as a hitter. He's also got good leadership skills."
