Munster confirm signing of former All Blacks centre Malakai Fekitoa

Munster have announced the signing of World Cup-winning centre Malakai Fekitoa from Wasps.

The 29-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the Red Army and will join in the summer following a three-year stint in the Gallagher Premiership.

Fekitoa helped New Zealand to World Cup glory in 2015 but now represents his homeland of Tonga on the international stage.

Having played for the Blues and the Highlanders, he made the move to the northern hemisphere when he joined Toulon in 2017.

Despite representing New Zealand earlier in his career, he returned to international rugby last year with his native Tonga, representing their Sevens team, for whom he's expected to make a test return with in 2022.

The 29-year-old has recently raised more than €70,000 for those effected by the tsunami that hit the country in January.
