Melbourne Rebels snap up Brumbies back-rower Colby Faingaa for 2014

Melbourne Rebels have snapped up Brumbies back-rower Colby Faingaa for 2014 as the former Australian Under-20 captain searches for more Super Rugby game time.

Hemmed in behind world-class Wallabies flankers David Pocock and George Smith this year, Faingaa has signed a one-year deal with the Rebels.

The younger brother of Wallabies Saia and Anthony Faingaa, the 22-year-old is in his fourth Super Rugby season but a serious foot injury and competition with Pocock, Smith and Michael Hooper has seen him start less than half of his 26 caps.
