Former Highlanders midfielder Sio Tomkinson has signed for the Western Force.
The hard-running 28-year-old joins the Force after spending the past two seasons playing with Welsh club Dragons in the United Rugby Championship and European Rugby Challenge Cup.
Tomkinson, who scored 14 tries in 43 games for the Highlanders from 2017 to 2022, will be joined in Perth by Otago coach Tom Donnelly, who is heading west as an assistant coach.
