The Melbourne Rebels have signed Welsh international lock Dominic Day as they continue to boost their forward pack for the next Super Rugby season.
The 30-year-old has agreed to a one-year deal after a 10-year career with Scarlets in the Pro12 (Europe), Bath in the England Premiership and Toyota Verblitz in Japan's Top League.
Day has made three appearances for Wales since his Test debut against Ireland last August and played at the 2015 World Cup.
The signing comes two weeks after Rebels coach Tony McGahan landed Tongan-born Japan Test No.8 Amanaki Mafi on a one-year deal.
The 198cm, 116kg Day will bring more than 200 games of professional experience to the Rebels.

"Dom is an experienced lock and an accomplished lineout caller who brings a physical presence to his game," McGahan said on Friday.
"He has leadership qualities, having captained Bath, and displays the consistent behaviours and work ethic that will be well suited to our club."
Day said he was looking forward to testing himself in Super Rugby.
"Playing overseas in the Pro12 and Premiership I would always watch Super Rugby and enjoyed the attacking style," he said.
"I think it's the most exciting competition in the world.
"Super rugby has some of the best and most skillful players in the world and I want to test myself in that arena."
