Former Flying Fijians fly half, Ben Volavola, will feature in the Premiership rugby competition in England for a season.

Volavola has played 38 times for Fiji, including in two World Cups and scored 239 points.

The Tokatoka man from Tailevu can operate at fly-half and full-back and will link up with new Leicester head coach Michael Cheika.

Volavola worked with Cheika at the Waratahs.

Cheika says Volavola’s experience at international level is invaluable.
