Glasgow Warriors have taken to Twitter to announce the completion of their signing of Carlin Isles, the 24-year-old American who has made his name on the international Sevens circuit and has been dubbed the "fastest man in world rugby".
We reported last week that this signing was on the verge of taking place, but it seems that the final details have only been ironed out today. His contract at Scotstoun runs until May 2015, and his arrival is still subject to visa and medical clearance. It will be his first professional 15-a-side deal.
