Leicester Tigers have signed Fiji back Ben Volavola on a one-year contract.

He has played 38 times for Fiji, including in two World Cups and scored 239 points.

He can operate at fly-half and full-back and will link up with new Tigers head coach Michael Cheika with whom he worked at Super Rugby side New South Wales Waratahs.

"Bens knowledge of northern-hemisphere rugby from his time in France is a plus, and his experience at international level is invaluable," ex-Australia coach Cheika told the club's website, external.

"I know hes a man of good character and will add value to our environment."
