Hisa Sasagi has signed for Saracens on a short-term deal.
The 31-year-old prop arrives from New Zealand provincial side Otago and will provide cover in the front row.
Sasagi established himself as a regular starter in the ITM Cup in 2015, helping Otago reach the Championship semi-finals before being selected as a member of the Hurricanes wider training group ahead of the 2016 Super Rugby season.
The Samoa international will remain at Allianz Park until the end of January 2019.
