The Vagadaci, Ovalau man will be joined alongside fellow countrymen, George Bower and Jona Nareki in the Blue and Gold colours this season.

Tamani will hope to make the cut for the Flying Fijians squad for the upcoming Pacific Nations Cup which will kick off next month.

Otago will take on Southland in their first match at 4.35pm on the 2nd of August in Invercargill.
