Cardiff have strengthened their second-row options by signing Leicester’s Tom Manz on a season-long loan.
The 6ft 8in lock, who featured 10 times for Tigers last season, will spend the 2026-27 campaign in the United Rugby Championship (URC).
Cardiff made the play-offs last season despite being stretched in the second row.
After missing out on Wales international Christ Tshiunza to Sale, they have signed Tongan Semisi Paea and now 24-year-old Manz.
“He is a big, physical player that will strengthen our squad, we are looking forward to what he can add to the mix,” said Cardiff head coach Corniel van Zyl, who also has Teddy Williams, Josh McNally, George Nott and Rory Thornton as options.
