Wasps have announced the signing of second-row forward Matt Symons from London Irish.
Symons started his career at Saracens but moved to New Zealand in 2012 and made his name with the Chiefs, becoming their vice-captain.
Symons, 26, a former top class rower, will join fellow new signings Danny Cipriani, Kurtley Beale and Tommy Taylor at Wasps this summer.
He joined Irish last season, captaining the side on several occasions.
Wasps rugby director Dai Young said: "Matt is a very talented player, and we're really pleased to have him join the squad ahead of next season.
"We have taken a keen interest in him since his rise with the Chiefs in New Zealand, and his physicality and line-out authority have impressed once again with London Irish, where he has been their stand-out player."
