London Irish have signed Zebre's Italy international prop Giosue Zilocchi.

The 25-year-old, who has won 16 caps, has joined the club with immediate affect and was a replacement in Italy's opening Six Nations game with France.

Irish have not disclosed how long Zilocchi will stay at the club.

"Gio, although only being 25 years old, has experienced a lot of international rugby that will only help him in the next stage of his career," said Irish director of rugby Declan Kidney.
