Glasgow Warriors have signed prop Siua Halanukonuka from Highlanders on a two-year deal subject to a medical and visa.
The Tonga international will join up with the Warriors in October after fulfilling his Mitre 10 Cup commitments with the Tasman Makos.
"I'm excited to be joining Glasgow Warriors with my family later this year." Halanukonuka told the club's official website
"It is a team aiming for titles and big things which excites me. I've heard about their loyal supporters and the great club atmosphere and I look forward to being a part of this in the near future."
Glasgow Assistant Coach Jonathan Humphreys said: "Siua comes with a lot of experience, having played regularly in Super Rugby over the past two seasons. He will be a great addition to our squad and will add to the competition at tight-head."
Halanukonuka made his debut for Highlanders in 2016 and has since made 26 appearances in Super Rugby.
He becomes the 10th new player to join the Warriors ahead of the new season, with Huw Jones, Callum Gibbins, Oli Kebble, Adam Hastings, Lelia Masaga, Samuela Vunisa, Kiran McDonald, Brandon Thomson and George Turner already signed up.
