The 24-year-old Fijian centre, who burst onto the scene during the 2022 Super Rugby Pacific campaign, made his international debut during the Autumn International Series, scoring against Ireland in Dublin.

Director of Rugby, Pat Lam, said: “Kalaveti is a hugely exciting signing for the club who is comfortable at both inside and outside centre. At only 24 years of age, he will fit nicely into our team as he brings his powerful, destructive ball-carrying and a well-rounded skillset that really took Super Rugby and international rugby by storm in 2022.

“He is dangerous on both sides of the ball, and we’re excited to help him fulfil his potential and ambitions up here in Europe. I’m confident our supporters will enjoy watching him represent the Bears in the coming seasons.”

Ravouvou added: “I’m delighted to have signed for Bristol Bears for the next few seasons.

“They play an attractive brand of rugby which I think will suit me and get the best out of me as a player.

“I can’t wait to get stuck in at the club’s World Class training facilities and contribute to their aspirations and ambitions as a club.”
