Leicester: Tigers sign Fiji fly-half Ben Volavola

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

Volavola, 33, joins the Tigers after seven seasons in France across four clubs, most recently at Agen.

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.

“Ben’s 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 he’s a man of good character and will add value to our environment.”
