Fiji born wing Maritino Nemani has been thrown a rugby life line after been released from the Chiefs super rugby team.

Nemani has now joined the Western Force's roster for next season.

Nemani was welcomed by the Perth‑based organisation as coach Michael Foley bolsters his attacking options.

23 year old Nemani made his Super Rugby debut for the title‑winning Chiefs in Durban and transferred to the Highlanders before returning north to turn out for Bay of Plenty in this year's national provincial championship.
