Sale Sharks have announced the signing of loosehead prop Tom Bristow, who joins the Premiership side from Narbonne with immediate effect.
The 27-year-old played for London Welsh, Leicester Tigers and Wasps before moving to France last year, where he has made 24 appearances.
Bristow said: “It’s a bit different at Carrington from the South of France, but great to be back in the UK.
“The opportunity to come and play for a Gallagher Premiership club is not one to turn down.
“I’m looking forward to getting to know all the lads here, and becoming a member of the Sharks front-row.”
Director of rugby Steve Diamond added: “Tom’s been on our radar for some time, and he’s well known to Neil Briggs. We will offer him a warm welcome to the Sharks squad and he will significantly improve our options in the front-row.”
