London - Ulster have signed versatile New Zealand international back Charles Piutau on a two-year deal from July 2016, the Irish province announced.
The 23-year-old, who can play at fullback, wing or centre, has won 14 caps for the All Blacks since making his Test debut against France in June 2013 and arrives from Super 15 side Auckland Blues.
"It was a difficult decision to leave the Blues and New Zealand rugby as I have really enjoyed my time with them so far," Piutau told the Ulster website.
