Glasgow Warriors have bolstered their back-line options for next season with the signing of Bayley Kuenzle on a two-year deal.
The 27-year-old Australian will arrive as a free agent from Western Force.
Kuenzle has made 44 appearances for the Perth club, including starts on the wing and at centre as well as covering full-back and fly-half.
He was called into the senior Australia squad for the summer Tests in 2024 but did not feature, having previously represented the country at A and under-20 level.
"I'm hugely excited," Kuenzle told club media.
"It's a massive opportunity for me, and Glasgow is a club that's been successful which speak volumes on the culture. I'm really looking forward to getting over there, meeting the group, and getting stuck in.
"A big part of the move was the style of rugby that Glasgow play and the culture around the club. They play an exciting brand of rugby, and you can see how tight the group is. It feels like a place where you can grow as a player and be part of something special."
Kuenzle, who spent two years with the Brumbies in Canberra before moving to Perth, played in Western Force's 54-7 defeat to the British and Irish Lions last June.
Head coach Smith added: "Bayley is a player that we believe will add to our environment, both on and off the field.
"His versatility will be a real asset to our squad, and he has shown his quality with and without the ball irrespective of the number on his jersey."
