London Wasps have secured the services of Italy international Lorenzo Cittadini.

The 31-year-old prop will arrive at Adams Park from Benetton Treviso in time for the start of next season.

Speaking about the new recruit, the club's director of rugby Dai Young said: "I rate him as a very good prop at the highest level. We've got some very good young props here at Wasps who will learn a lot from working with him.

"We want to build a squad which has strength in depth in every position and bringing in players like this will help us continue to build on that aim."

Cittadini has represented the Azzurri on 32 occasions, scoring 10 points in the process.
