It's finally confirmed!

Flying Fijians lock Leone Nakarawa has agreed to re-join Scottish club Glasgow Warriors, subject to visa and medical.

He had been a free agent after being sacked by French club Racing 92 following his late return from the Rugby World Cup.

In a statement, the Glasgow Warriors say Nakarawa is due to arrive in Glasgow today, having signed a deal which lasts until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old made 69 appearances for the Glasgow Warriors in his first spell at the club.

Nakarawa signed his first professional contract when joining the Glasgow Warriors in 2013 and helped the club win the Pro 12 title in 2015. He left in 2016 to join Racing 92 in France.

Nakarawa told glasgowwarriors.org that he has remained close with his ex-teammates during his time in Paris and they played a big role in his decision to go back.

He says he is really looking forward to working with Dave Rennie and the coaching staff.

Nakarawa says the Glasgow Warriors play an attacking style, which suits the way he likes to play.

Glasgow Warriors Head Coach, Dave Rennie says Nakarawa is close with a lot of the players and we’re looking forward to welcoming him back into the squad this week.
