Newcastle Red Bulls have brought forward the signing of Exeter Chiefs full-back Josh Hodge.
Hodge had been set to return to the club on a three-year deal in the summer but will instead make the move now.
The 25-year-old England A international made 92 appearances for Exeter.
"I'm really excited to be joining Newcastle Red Bulls at this stage in the season," he told the club website.
"I'm looking forward to getting stuck in and building towards a strong end to the campaign.
"I'm ready to hit ground running, and setting the tone for what we want to achieve next season."
