Saracens have confirmed the signing of Italian back-row Samuela Vunisa from Zebre.

The 26-year-old, who has won three international caps, will join the Aviva Premiership club at the end of the season.

Vunisa moved to Zebre in 2013 following a spell with Calvisano.

"Samu has clearly made a strong impression in his appearances for Italy and his strong running and ball carrying ability are valuable assets in the modern game. We look forward to welcoming him and his wife to the club in July," director of rugby Mark McCall told Saracens' official website.

Saracens are back in action on Sunday when they travel to Wasps in the league.
