The Bradford Bulls have signed New Zealand winger Tame Tupou from the Brisbane Broncos as a replacement for Lesley Vainikolo, who is expected to join rugby union club Gloucester.
Tupou has agreed to a four-year contract with the English Super League club and is due to arrive in north England next week.
Although he was Brisbane's joint-top try-scorer last season, Tupou was left out of its grand final-winning lineup and did not face St Helens in the World Club Challenge in February.
Tupou is the latest in a long line of Kiwis to play at Odsal following the likes of Vainikolo, Shontayne Hape, Joe Vagana and Robbie and Henry Paul.
Vainikolo, who has an amazing try tally of 140 in 144 appearances for the Bulls, is expected to complete a cross-code move to Gloucester at the end of May.
