Edinburgh have announced the signing of Argentina international Tomas Leonardi.

The back-row forward has agreed a three-month contract from South African club Southern Kings where he previously worked with coach Alan Solomons.

"Tomas is a physical, abrasive player, who is equally comfortable at No.8 or on the blindside flank," ESPN quotes Solomons as saying. "He's an experienced international who is capable of adding value the squad."

Leonardi has been capped 18 times by the Pumas.
