Connacht Rugby have confirmed the signing of former New Zealand Sevens player Pita Ahki to replace Fijian Eroni Vasiteri.

Vasiteri’s move to Connacht was shelved this week after he was handed a nine week ban for eye gouging in Australia.

Ahki, who has played in Super Rugby with the Blues and the Hurricanes, has won a World Cup Sevens medal in 2013 and helped New Zealand to the silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in 2014.
