The Fijian, who can operate at centre and wing, has signed a three-year contract at Kingsholm Road.

"Seru's signing is great news for us, particularly at this point in the season," said Gloucester head coach Dean Ryan. "He is a player of great quality and physicality who is able to play both in the centre and on the wing - that versatility and familiarity across positions can only strengthen our options."

Rabeni represented Fiji in the 2003 and 2007 World Cups and has also played Super 14 rugby with the Highlanders.

The 30-year-old joined the Tigers in 2004 and scored five tries in 21 appearances during the club's double-winning campaign of 2006/07.

Rabeni scored a total of 90 points in 62 appearances for the club.

Rabeni told www.gloucesterrugby.co.uk: "I am delighted to be joining Gloucester although it was a very tough decision to make, after five years at Welford Road.

"The support I have received during this period of time from both the club and fans has been fantastic and I wish Leicester every success in the future.

"It is now time for me to move onto another challenge, and hopefully help Gloucester to lift some silverware, continue the good work and progress the team has so far achieved under Dean Ryan and Bryan Redpath.

"There are some great players at the club and it will be an honour and privilege to work and fight with them in Gloucester's cause."
