Ulster have signed Ireland fly-half Ian Madigan on a one-year deal from Bristol Bears.
The 30-year old has played for Leinster, Bordeaux Begles, and has spent the last three years with Bristol Bears.
Ulster head coach Dan McFarland said: "It's great news that Ian has chosen to make the move to Ulster for the upcoming season.
"Given Ian's skillset, and the fit it can have with our style of play, I'm confident he will be a valuable addition to our squad both on and off the pitch, where he will bring a bank of experience to a group of talented young out-halves.
"I look forward to welcoming him to our province."
Madigan represented Ireland on 30 occasions, and was part of the team which won the Six Nations Championship in 2014 and retained it the following year.
He featured in all of Ireland's Rugby World Cup games in 2015, including the 24-9 victory against France.
