Glasgow Warriors have signed Fiji international scrum-half Nemia Kenatale on a one-year deal provided he gets a visa and passes his medical.

Kenatale, who is in the Fiji squad for the upcoming Pacific Nations Cup, has 37 caps for his country and has scored seven tries.

The 30-year-old will arrive in Glasgow this summer having spent two seasons playing in Romania for Steaua Bucuresti and Farul Constan?a.

He has also represented New Zealand ITM Cup side Southland Stags and was included in the Highlanders wider training group.

Kenatale was selected in the Fiji Rugby World Cup squad in England last year, scoring a try in the win over Uruguay and was Fiji's first-choice scrum-half at the 2011 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.

He is the latest new signing for the 2016/17 season, joining hooker Corey Flynn and winger Leonardo Sarto, while prop Jarrod Firth and fly-half Rory Clegg have already arrived ahead of the new campaign.

Kenatale said: “I’m very excited to have signed for Glasgow Warriors.

“I want to be as successful as the other Fijian boys who have played for the club and what is important to me is that I’ll be playing at a very high level.

“I’m looking forward to playing in the GUINNESS PRO12 and European Rugby Champions Cup next season.

“I spoke to Gregor Townsend and he explained to me about the culture at the club and the way the club is growing and the environment at Scotstoun.

“Niko Matawalu told me about his time in Glasgow and he was very positive about everything.

“I like playing fast-paced running rugby and I’m looking forward to playing that style of rugby in Glasgow next season.”

Townsend is delighted to add Kenatale's experience and calibre to the squad as they bid to get off to a flying start next season.

He told glasgowwarriors.org: “With Mike Blair retiring we’re delighted Nemia has agreed to join us to compete with the other scrum-halves at the club.

“He is an experienced scrum-half, having played regularly for Fiji over the last few seasons.

“He excels in the fundamentals of scrum-half play – getting quickly to rucks and passing accurately to his stand-off.

“Like most Fijians, Nemia thrives when the tempo of a game is high, which is the way we aspire to play."
