Connacht have completed the signing of ACT Brumbies back Lima Bibo.

The Irish-qualified youngster, who has an impressive goal-kicking record, attracted attention last year when playing for the Australian under-21s.

Bibo is comfortable on the wing or at fullback and will be a welcome addition following the departures of kickers Mark McHugh and Paul Warwick.

Michael Bradley is expected to bring in around a dozen players this summer as he looks to improve his side's standing in both the Magner's Celtic League and Heineken Cup.
