Western Force have boosted their squad for next year's Super Rugby season with the signing of Hurricanes ace David Smith.

Smith, 24, scored seven tries last season for the Wellington-based side, with his performances earning him selection in the Barbarians squad that played Ireland and England.

Smith will arrive in Perth in later this month after finishing his commitments with Taranaki in New Zealand's ITM Cup.

He will add depth to the Force's outside back stocks which already includes James O'Connor, Nick Cummins and Cameron Shepherd.

"David is a player that has the capability to be a genuine star in the modern-day game and his attacking capabilities will be hugely beneficial for us," Force coach Richard Graham said.
