Saia Fainga'a to return to Brumbies

Queensland Reds hooker Saia Fainga'a will return to the Brumbies next season, signing a one-year deal with the Super Rugby franchise.

Queensland hooker Saia Fainga'a will return to the Brumbies next Super Rugby season to replace Wallabies skipper Stephen Moore, who is heading to the Reds.

The 29-year-old Fainga'a on Monday signed a one-year deal to join the Canberra-based Brumbies, where he played between 2006 and 2008.

"With Stephen Moore returning to the Reds next year there was obviously a gap we needed to fill in our squad and I think Saia is a perfect fit," Brumbies coach Stephen Larkham said.
