Romania prop Alexandru Tarus has signed a two-year deal to join Sale Sharks this summer, the club have confirmed.
The 27-year-old tighthead, who has 16 international caps, will move to the Aviva Premiership from French Pro D2 club Beziers.
"Alexandru is a great signing for us - he can play on both sides of the scrum although he is a specialist tighthead," Sale rugby director Steve Diamond said on Monday.
"He is a big lad and he will I am sure fit perfectly at Sharks."
Tarus previously featured for Romanian clubs Bucuresti Wolves and Timisoara Saracens, and the forward revealed how former Sale front-rower Vadim Cobilas, now plying his trade at Bordeaux, urged Tarus to join the Sharks.
"I know Vadim Cobilas well and he told me what a great club Sale Sharks are to play for," Tarus added.
"This is a great opportunity for me."
