Former Blues and All Black 7's player Lolagi Visinia will join the 2020 Magpies squad.
The wing will "add size" to the Magpies backline which many indicated as a need to have to compete week after week with the best provincial union sides throughout New Zealand.
The back, who has returned from France where he has been playing for FC Grenoble since 2017, said he's "excited" after moving to Hawke's Bay and keen to contribute to the community through club rugby.
"I'm looking forward to getting into club rugby with Clive and playing for the Magpies," he said.
"This a massive opportunity for me to be a part of the Magpies team as I have been following their success of over the last few years and I'm keen to be a part of the legacy."
