South Africa centre Rohan Janse van Rensburg has signed for Sale Sharks on loan until February.
The Lions midfielder will link up with Sale later this week after receiving rave reviews from Sharks' Faf de Klerk and Josh Strauss, his former Super Rugby team-mates.
"Rohan is a powerful, highly abrasive centre and we are very happy that he will be joining up with us," said Sale boss Steve Diamond.
"He's only 23 and I'm sure he will be an excellent addition to our squad.
"He was recommended by Faf de Klerk and Josh Strauss and everyone here is looking forward to welcoming Rohan to the club."
Van Rensburg will rejoin the Lions in February in time for next year's Super Rugby campaign.
