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.
