The Western Force have bolstered their forward pack for next season with the addition of Wallabies prop Salesi Ma'afu on a two year deal.
The 28-year-old will trade Canberra and the Brumbies for Perth next season, having established himself at international level by playing 10 Tests for Australia in 2010.
Ma'afu said "I'm at the point in my career where I felt I needed a new challenge and a change in environment, first and foremost for rugby and also for my family, I enjoyed the six years in Canberra and think I have improved a lot as a player but saw a great opportunity in Perth with the Force and in the end it wasn't a hard decision."
