The Chiefs' hooker and Samoan Rugby World Cup 2011 Captain Mahonri Schwalger has re-signed with the franchise.
Schwalger is in arguably the best form of his career and has agreed a two-year contract with the Chiefs.
Coach Dave Rennie says Schwalger's wealth of experience, skill and leadership qualities are highly valuable to the team.
32-year-old Schwalger has played in three World Cups and captained Samoa in their historic win against the Wallabies in 2011.
