mataOlympic gold medal winning Fiji sevens star Viliame Mata has signed for Scottish rugby club Edinburgh on a two-year deal.

The 24-year-old was among the try-scorers as Fiji thrashed Great Britain 43-7 in the Olympic final in Rio.

Mata is primarily a lock in the 15-a-side game, but can also play in the loose forwards.

After achieving his sevens goals in Rio, Mata said his goal now was to perform well for his new team.

Head Coach Alan Solomons said they were delighted to welcome him to the club.

Former Fiji Under-20s player Solomoni Rasolea is also a recent signing at the Scottish club.
