Ireland-qualified Super Rugby back Byron Ralston will join Connacht in the summer from the Western Force.
The former Australian under-20 international can play at outside centre or on the wing and is keen to make the same sort of impact Aussie-born new Ireland international Mack Hansen has done since the start of the season.
Born in Darwin, Ralston grew up in Brisbane and has played 14 times for the Force in Super Rugby and has scored five tries.
