Hill promotes another to the Premiership

Bristol have signed Samoan centre Junior Fatialofa from National League One club Exeter. The move up to the Guinness Premiership comes after the 27-year-old had spent four seasons with the Chiefs. Bristol head coach Richard Hill said: "He is a very physical player who has that typical Islander approach to defence, but is also capable of punching big holes through the midfield. "He has been a very fine player now for several seasons in League One, and we feel that he is more than capable of making the step up to Premiership level." Hill has something of a reputation for making successful signings from English rugby's lower divisions, with Bristol having recruited the likes of Shaun Perry, Dan Ward-Smith, plus Luke and Tom Arscott.
