Newcastle Red Bulls have signed Saracens hooker Samson Adejimi on loan for the rest of the season.
Adejimi, 23, has scored eight tries in 14 games for Sarries, as well as 12 in 27 appearances for Championship side Ampthill.
The English hooker will provide cover in that area for Newcastle after an injury to Italy international Hame Faiva in the Prem Rugby Cup defeat to Saracens on Saturday.
Head coach Alan Dickens said: "Samson is a very promising player who gives us greater depth and additional quality in a position where we need it."
Newcastle are bottom of the Prem and face Leicester Tigers at home on Friday night (19:45 GMT).
