EXETER CHIEFS have completed a deal that will see highly-rated Kiwi Josh Iosefa-Scott arrive at Sandy Park in the next few weeks.
Blindside understands that 24-year-old Iosefa-Scott has agreed a two-year deal with the Chiefs, who are pushing to retain their Premiership crown.
The powerful tighthead, who plays NPC rugby for Waikato, dropped from the Highlanders 2021 Super Rugby squad.
Rob Baxter has been seeking another tighthead with Welsh international Tomas Francis leaving for the Ospreys.
Iosefa-Scott, who stands 6ft 4ins, is viewed by Baxter as a project player for the club to turn into a top-class prospect.
