WORCESTER Warriors have completed the signing of Zimbabwean tighthead prop Farai Mudariki.
The 23-year-old is set for the switch to Sixways at the end of this summer’s Rugby Africa Gold Cup which serves as a qualifier for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
Mudariki becomes Alan Solomons’ 11th signing ahead of the new season.
He joins from Stado Tarbes Pyrenees who play in Federale 1 - third tier of French rugby - after spending two seasons at Castres Espoirs, the youth academy side for Top 14 outfit Castres.
The prop has nine Test caps for Zimbabwe, scoring a try on his debut against Madagascar in a 2015 Rugby World Cup qualifier, and is set for his tenth appearance this weekend against Tunisia.
