Former Flying Fijians flyhalf Ben Volavola is set to become one of Leicester Tigers’ new signings for the new Gallagher Premiership season after he joined the club for their pre-season training.

The 33-year-old has been looking for a new club since being one of 36 players released by French club Agen when his contract ran out earlier in the summer.

Former Wallabies coach Michael Cheika will also be reuniting with Volavola since the two knew each other when they were both with the NSW Waratahs.

Volavola is recognised as a fly-half but is versatile enough to operate anywhere across the backline.

He made 22 appearances in the Pro D2 for Agen last season, scoring 47 points.

Volavola would be the fourth new signing to join Leicester ahead of the new season which kicks off next month.
