Warriors sign Fijian winger Naiyaravoro

The winger has arrived from NSW Waratahs and has penned a three-year deal at Scotstoun.

Naiyaravoro, who can play on the wing or at centre, will join the Warriors at the end of the current Super Rugby season.

He said: "Glasgow have been talking to me for a while and opened the door for me, so I'm happy to have signed a long-term contract with the club. I'm looking forward to moving to Glasgow with my family to continue my development.

"They are a strong team and it's really exciting to get the opportunity to move over there and play my rugby in Scotland next season.

"It's been great playing with the likes of Adam Ashley-Cooper and Kurtley Beale at the Waratahs this season. They've been really helpful and I've learnt a lot from them.

"It will be a new challenge for me to play in the GUINNESS PRO12 and compete against the best sides in Europe in the Champions Cup."

Naiyaravoro has made 15 times for the Waratahs since joining last May and has scored six tries for the club.

And Head Coach Gregor Townsend is delighted to have the Fijian on board after finally securing a deal to bring him to Glasgow.

Townsend said: "Taqele is a very exciting signing for our club.

"We've been tracking him for a number of months and we know there has been a lot of speculation about his future, so we're delighted that we can finally announce that he will become a Glasgow Warriors player in the summer.

"Taqele has made a real impact since joining the Waratahs last season and has the potential to become one of the best wingers in the GUINNESS PRO12.

"His sheer size and strength will give us another option in our back-line and I'm sure he will be an excellent addition to our squad.

"He has a great attitude and desire to work and improve and we'd like to thank Scottish Rugby for their support in securing a player of Taqele's quality.

"We look forward to him joining us at the end of the season and we know he'll be with us regardless of any international commitments."
