The Lions have strengthened their options in the front-row with the signing of experienced loosehead prop Danie Mienie.
The 27-year-old started his professional career at the Sharks before having stints at the Cheetahs and Griquas.
He is set to return to South Africa after playing a season for Toulouse in the Top 14.
His arrival at the Lions will be a boost for the Johannesburg-based outfit after they lost the services of first-choice props Jacques van Rooyen and Ruan Dreyer, who joined Premiership clubs Bath and Gloucester respectively.
