The 33-year old has played 17 Tests for the All Blacks. He has also played Super Rugby for the Chiefs, Crusaders, Highlanders and the Hurricanes. Since 2006 he has been plying his trade in Japan where he first played for Suntory and is now with the Kamaishi Seawaves rugby club in Japan.
Alatini is married to a South African woman, Megan, who is originally from George.
The fleet footed centre who can also play flyhalf and fullback, is considering a move to Cape Town in December.
