Connacht have completed the signing of back row player George Naoupu from the Highlanders in New Zealand.
New Connacht signing George Naoupu is congratulated by Jason Rutledge after scoring a try for the Highlanders against the Reds in the Super 14 last April
George Naoupu, who can also play in the second row, has signed until the end of the season.
The 196cm, 112kg player came up through Canterbury's academy system and also played for the Hawkes Bay club.
A former New Zealand Sevens and Under-21 player, Naoupu played Super 14 rugby for the Highlanders this season and will link up with former team-mate Niva Ta'auso at the Sportsground.
Now 26, Naoupu actually played for New Zealand in their IRB Under-21 World Championship final victory over Ireland back in 2004.
