Signed up Saturday.

High-flying championship side Bristol have officially announced the signing of former All Blacks and Ulster prop John Afoa from Gloucester.

Under the guidance of Pat Lam, the big spending club are currently top of the English Championship, with a perfect record so far. They look certain to gain promotion this season and are building one hell of a squad.

They’ve already got the likes of Ian Madigan and Steven Luatua, and are currently in the process of announcing seven new signings for next season, including Afoa.

Exeter hooker Shaun Melton is also set to join next season, as is former Melbourne Rebels captain Nic Stirzaker, who plies his trade at scrumhalf, and is currently on a short-term deal with Saracens.
