Kiwi flyer Niko wings in at Blues

BEDFORD have agreed to sign former Yorkshire Carnegie and Ealing Trailfinders winger Elijah Niko.

Niko, 30, who was born in Wellington, New Zealand played in the NRL for New Zealand Warriors and Melbourne Storm before switching codes.

The former Australian Sevens international, above right, played in France for Section Paloise, Albi and Beziers before moving to Yorkshire.

He left Ealing because of visa issues, but they have been resolved and he will link up with the Blues before the new season kicks off.
