Leinster have signed South African forward Cornelius Hermanus 'Harry' Vermaas on a one-year deal from the Blue Bulls.
The versatile 22-year-old - who can play in all three positions in the front row - was a member of the South Africa team which won the Under-21 World Cup last year and has played for his country at that level since 2004.
Vermaas becomes the fifth new addition to the Leinster squad after the recent signings of Trevor Hogan, Stephen Keogh, Chris Whitaker and Owen Finegan.
