Dunning (pictured), who has just resumed playing after missing this year's season with an Achilles tendon injury, will join the Force next year after spending nine seasons with the NSW Waratahs.

"I'm really looking to forward to the opportunity to be involved with a new team," Dunning said.

"For a new team, the Force has been very successful. You need only look at the Wallabies squad now and they've got quite a few young guys coming through."

The Force's general manager Mitch Hardy said Dunning was a welcome addition to the Western Australia-based squad.

"Matt is a very experienced tighthead prop and a player who has been an integral part of the Wallabies for a number of years," Hardy said.

"He's been involved in two World Cups and has spearheaded a very good Waratahs scrum for the best part of a decade."
