PRO12 holders Glasgow Warriors have signed Fiji born wing Junior Bulumakau from the British Army on a one‑year contract after he impressed in training.
The 24‑year‑old, who has been training with the Warriors for the last couple of months, played in the 28‑10 defeat to Clermont in the preseason fixture in France last Friday and scored a spectacular try from the halfway line.
Bulumakau was born in Fiji and moved to Scotland at the age of 10 with his parents.
He has served as an infantryman with The Royal Scots Borderers, 1st Battalion The Royal Regiment of Scotland since February 2010, deploying on overseas training exercises to Kenya and Cyprus.
He has played for Heriot's in the BT Premiership, while in May he scored a try for the British Army and was named man of the match in their 36‑18 win over the Royal Navy in front of 80,000 supporters at Twickenham.
He becomes the second winger to join the club ahead of the new campaign, along with Taqele Naiyaravoro from the Waratahs, while Scotland 7s wingers Mark Robertson and Nyle Godsmark are training with the squad.
