Connacht sign wing Timani

Connacht have signed promising Samoan winger Thomas Timani.

The 22-year-old will arrive in the Sportsground next month after completing the move from Auckland in New Zealand.

Timani was named as the Development Player of the Year in Auckland last season and Connacht coach Michael Bradley is pleased with the latest addition to his squad.

The recruitment drive is not finished as Bradley admitted: “We are in discussions with a wing-forward and we hope that there will be a positive development shortly,” said Bradley.
