Newcastle Red Bulls have signed forward Fergus Lee-Warner on a one-year deal from New South Wales Waratahs.
The 31-year-old Australian has previously played in England for Worcester, where he worked with Newcastle director of rugby Steve Diamond, and Bath.
“I’m incredibly grateful to Dimes for reaching out – especially after our time together at Worcester Warriors was cut short,” Lee-Warner told the club website., external
“I can’t wait to get stuck in with the fellas, work hard and soak up as much as I can when I arrive.”
He is the club’s second signing since energy drinks giant Red Bull completed their takeover of the Prem Rugby club last Tuesday.
