Syed Ali attacked the teenager in Sunderland's Mowbray Park on 8 December last year.
Ali, from the city's Barnes area, was found guilty after a trial at Newcastle Crown Court.
Det Insp Phil Bond said Ali had "preyed on his victim, befriending her and quickly gaining her trust before subjecting her to a horrific attack".
He said: "I hope the victim and her family can now move on from what has been an incredibly distressing time and can come to terms with what has happened and rebuild their lives.
"Although we know this sentence will in no way help erase what has happened, we hope there is some comfort in knowing Ali is now in prison."

Summary: A 19-year-old man has been jailed for life for sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl in Sunderland.

Internet service providers had until Tuesday to implement the ban.
The sites now redirect to a message explaining they have been blocked "by decision of public authorities".
In 2015, the authorities banned 11 popular pornography websites, saying many failed to protect children "from information harmful to their health".
Analysis by Vitaliy Shevchenko, BBC Monitoring
The decision was made following two separate court rulings, which said the websites "spread pornography".
Sexually explicit content is not outlawed in Russia, but the law bans "the illegal production, dissemination and advertisement of pornographic materials and objects".
It is not uncommon for Russia to ban websites. The government agency Roskomnadzor maintains a blacklist that now includes thousands of them.
Access is usually blocked for violating the notoriously vague extremism legislation or child protection laws.
Websites critical of the Kremlin have been blocked too, and at one point Wikipedia was blacklisted.
Following the 2015 ban, one woman asked Roskomnadzor on Twitter whether it could recommend an alternative.
The agency replied: "You can meet someone in real life."
On Tuesday, it said its earlier tweet was "still relevant".
However, open rights campaigners have warned that local bans can be defeated.
"Blocking porn is the fastest way to ensure widespread adoption of censorship circumvention in your country," said Eva Galperin, global policy analyst at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
One of the affected porn sites offered Roskomnadzor a premium subscription to its service, in exchange for lifting the ban.
The government agency said it was "not in the market" for such an offer.
Nadya Tolokonnikova, lead singer from punk band Pussy Riot, joked that the ban was "a blow below the belt".

Summary: Russia's watchdog, Roskomnadzor, has blocked access to some pornography websites.

Wales go into Friday night's match in Cardiff off the back of defeats by Scotland and England.
Another defeat will mean it would be Wales' worst championship since 2010 and Francis accepts the players have something to prove at the Principality Stadium.
Francis says he has managed to avoid the worst of the criticism aimed at the team in Wales because he plays his club rugby in the south west of England.
"It's a bit like a fishbowl isn't it," he said.
"When the game doesn't go how you want it's quite hard not to take that personally especially if you look at the press.
"I guess I'm lucky in the weeks after the losses I've been back in Exeter.
"I didn't have to stay here and I sort of managed to get away from that and focus on something else and then come back into it.
"It's not a nation is it? It's a little part of the south west and there's only a few papers that will print anything about the rugby, but here it's all over the news."

Summary: Wales captain Dan Francis says he is "on edge" after his side's loss to England.

The report focuses on the impact of sea level rises on the Dawlish to Teignmouth line which connects Cornwall and Devon to the rest of the UK.
The line was closed for two months in 2014 after it was destroyed by storms.
Network Rail said the study would be "key" to long-term developments.
The report, published in the Journal of Transport Geography, said that 10% of journeys on the line, which was rebuilt and reopened in April 2014, could be affected by 2040.
The report said adverse weather disrupted the line about 10 days per year, but according to sea-level predictions that could rise to almost 40 by 2040 and up to 120 by 2100.
Academics from Plymouth University, the University of Leeds and the University of York identified a link between sea-level change and rail incidents over the last 150 years.
The academics said there could be similar implications for other vulnerable stretches of railway throughout Wales, south-east England, the Cumbrian coast and Scotland.
Dr David Dawson, from the University of Leeds, said the long-term future of the line was "really worrying".
The report predicts diverting routes could potentially cost billions of pounds.
Network Rail said it hoped to develop "long-term interventions" to "secure the future" of the line.
The Department for Transport said it had invested Â£31m into improving the resilience of the route and was "exploring the potential for longer-term improvements in the area".
In January, the prime minister backed a new Okehampton railway route as the "most resilient" alternative to the vulnerable Dawlish line.

Summary: Sea level changes could disrupt rail services within the next 100 years, a study suggests.

The train firm said it would refund the difference in cost between mainline and high speed fares - to compensate for the loss of direct high speed trains.
Southeastern will also give season ticket-holders from five stations a backdated 20% refund on mainline fares.
Dover MP Charlie Elphicke, said the line still needed repairing quickly.
He said it had been a difficult time for rail users and it was right passengers should be compensated after the problems were caused when cracks appeared in the sea wall.
Mr Elphicke said an emergency peak-time high-speed rail service between Dover and St Pancras to help commuters had made a difference.
"We now need Network Rail to confirm how long it will take to repair the sea wall," he said.
Steve Kilby, from Network Rail, said the team was working hard to get a final design in place for repairs.
But, he said: "This week has been very stormy on the beach and our guys have been working through tough conditions."
He said 15,000 tonnes of rock had been placed on the shingle to protect the railway from heavy seas and eventually more than 70,000 tonnes would be in place.
The stations where passengers will be compensated are Sandwich, Deal, Walmer, Martin Mill and Dover Priory.
Compensation claim forms are available for people at the station.

Summary: Passengers affected by the loss of a railway line are to be compensated, Southeastern has said.

He complained that Dawn Bowden referred to "Goebbels-like propaganda from the right-wing media" in a recent debate.
He claimed Eluned Morgan "trivialised suicide" when saying Brexit would "slit the wrists of the Welsh economy".
Mr Davies has written to Presiding Officer Elin Jones asking her to remind AMs to use more appropriate language.
"There is a danger that the aggressive nature of debates on the subject of Britain's vote to leave the European Union is likely to worsen any tensions which exist in Welsh society," Mr Davies said in his letter to Ms Jones.
"Whatever we may feel individually and collectively about the result we all have a responsibility to conduct that civic discussion in a rational manner and with respect."
An assembly spokesman said the presiding officer had "received this correspondence on Friday afternoon and will reply to the Leader of Welsh Conservatives soon".
In response, Ms Bowden said she stood by what she said, criticising the way the "right-wing press" has portrayed recent issues such as immigration.
She added: "If he [Mr Davies] has a problem with that then my view would be, he is being over sensitive."

Joel Andresier, 39, from Southampton, said the pushchair had been covered in "pretty much every bodily fluid known to science" by his three children.
At one stage the highest bid for the three-wheeler stood at more than £150,000, after the advert went viral.
He reset the price after admitting he did not expect the bidder to pay up.
In the listing's description, Mr Andresier, of Sarisbury Green, said: "This was purchased against my wishes many years ago as I never wanted any children and a buggy signified my wife's intent to have children.
"We argued much and this buggy signifies everything that ended my happy carefree low cost child free life."
It prompted six pages of questions which led the advert to exceed the number of customer enquiries allowed by the online auction site.
Mr Andresier wrote: "Looks like I have hit the eBay limit for shared responses to all your wonderful questions. It doesn't look like the last 50 or so replies from today have been added to the listing. Sorry people - looks like you have broken eBay."
On the comments pages, one user described Mr Andresier as a "marketing genius", while another did not see the funny side and said he was "pathetic".
He said he would use the proceeds from the sale to "help me recover from children".
Mr Andresier's wife Susan, 36, had said she found the listing "hilarious", and added the couple had been amazed by its popularity on social media.
'Green monster' for sale: Highlights from the eBay listing
"I have bought cars that cost less than this buggy. My dad once bought a house that cost less than this buggy.
"Anyway as you can tell I hate the buggy. I now have 3 children, and a Labrador and am forced to endure the school run where women I dont know try and discuss the price of centre parc holidays, and the benefits of the micro over the mini micro scooter. To summarize my life is over and this green albatross needs to go round some other poor sods neck.
"All of my children are now walking (often in completely the wrong direction) but someone else deserves to give this a good home. Over the years I have collected spare bits from other zombified fathers who were once full of life and I will throw these in as well."

Summary: A used buggy was listed for sale by a father who joked that it signified the end of his "happy carefree life".

The 32-year-old's first World Series win since 2012 ended the 13-event winning streak of Gwen Jorgensen.
The Welsh triathlete also beat British rival Jodie Stimpson.
"Helen has put a very strong case forward," said Stanford, who has already qualified for Rio along with Vicky Holland.
With an official announcement due in June, two-time world champion Jenkins and England's Commonwealth champion Stimpson are competing to be part of Britain's female triathlon contingent in Rio this summer.
"Personally, I can't see how they can't pick Helen," said Jenkins' Welsh compatriot Stanford.
"British Triathlon were saying that you had to display potential to medal for Rio and she's absolutely done that.
"She's gone out there and won the race and not only that she's beaten Gwen Jorgensen, who is the hot favourite to win gold in Rio, so if you beat her you've shown you have potential to medal so I'd be very surprised if she's not selected."
Stimpson made a strong start to the season, winning the opening World Series event in Abu Dhabi and the sprint distance World Cup in Australia.
But she trailed in 12th, more than three minutes behind the winner, at the Gold Coast.
"Jodie had a fantastic start to the season," added Stanford, the 2013 world champion.
"But sadly she didn't quite have the race she wanted at the Gold Coast which was the actual selection race.
"That was the day they had to really perform and show what they were capable of doing, but she presented a strong case earlier in the year and you never know what the selectors are thinking and which way they will go."
After winning the race in Australia, Jenkins said: "The team is not announced yet but I think I have probably done enough today.
"Our team is so strong and it is so unfair that Jodie might not be going to the Games."

Summary: Stanford will be surprised if Helen Jenkins is not in the British triathlon team for Rio after her victory in the World Series event.

It will also investigate claims about money contained in an Isle of Man bank account.
It is understood the PSNI asked the NCA to take the lead because of the complexity and scale of the investigation.
It is the NCA's first major investigation since it began operating in Northern Ireland in May.
Investigators from the agency are expected to meet the PSNI shortly.
In a statement on Thursday, the NCA, the UK equivalent of the FBI, confirmed it had agreed to investigate the sale of Northern Ireland assets owned by the Republic of Ireland's National Assets Management Agency (Nama).
NCA deputy director of operations Graham Gardner said: "The NCA has considered a request from [the] PSNI and has agreed to lead an investigation, calling on support as necessary from PSNI officers.
BBC News NI Home Affairs Correspondent Vincent Kearney
This takes the investigation to a new level.
The NCA has a level of expertise and resources not available to the PSNI.
They include a specialist economic crime unit and a financial intelligence unit.
Those units contain specialist investigators like forensic accountants and technical experts.
The NCA also has an international reach and works with other agencies throughout the world, including Interpol, whose members include the Republic of Ireland and the United States.
"We will not be providing a running commentary on our progress but will provide updates as and when appropriate."
Earlier, an Irish parliament (Dáil) committee was told a former Nama adviser was in line for a £5m payment after the sale of Nama's property loan portfolio in Northern Ireland.
US investment firm, Pimco, pulled out of the tender bidding process after discovering the fee arrangement to Nama's former adviser, Frank Cushnahan.
The revelation came during a hearing of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC).
It is examining Nama's sale of its 850-property NI portfolio last year.
The National Assets Management Agency (Nama) is the Republic of Ireland's "bad bank", set up to deal with toxic loans during the Irish banking crisis, and the sale of Nama's Northern Ireland portfolio is known as Project Eagle.

Summary: The NCA is to lead the investigation into the sale of Nama's NI property portfolio.

Andrew Steele, from Dunfermline, turned at a police station and confessed to and raping one girl and touching another between 1996 and 2005.
He was initially released pending further investigations but was detained months later. He then said he been hallucinating when he made the confession.
Sentence was deferred for background reports.
The High Court in Edinburgh heard that Steele, aged 49, told officers his mother was "up in the sky" urging him to confess to the sex crimes when he made his revelations.
Police traced the girls and took statements from them. Both victims were aged seven when the abuse began.
Steele admitted rape, indecency offences and failing to turn up for an earlier court date, when he appeared at the High Court in Edinburgh.
Advocate depute Mark McGuire said: "On 28 December in 2014 the accused voluntarily attended at Kirkcaldy police station and disclosed that he had interfered with the girls."
"On 3 March in 2015 the accused was detained. Under caution he told the officers that he was having hallucinations on the day that he confessed. He told them that his mother was up in the sky telling him to confess. He maintained this position throughout the interview."
The prosecutor said before his first appearance at the police station Steele had gone to hospital and claimed he was hallucinating.
"He was assessed by three medical professionals who concluded that he was suffering from alcohol withdrawal. He was deemed fit to be discharged," said the prosecutor
Steele was remanded in custody and put on the sex offenders register.

At least one bomber blew himself up outside the mausoleum of Sayid Mohammed bin Ali al-Hadi, which was then stormed by gunmen, reports say.
Another bomber is said to have blown himself up among fleeing worshippers.
Meanwhile the death toll from Sunday's suicide bombing in Baghdad has again been raised, from 281 to 292.
Amid growing public anger over the truck bombing, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi fired the three top security officials in Baghdad on Friday.
They were the head of Baghdad's security command, the head of interior ministry intelligence for Baghdad and the official responsible for Baghdad in the national security adviser's office.
IS said five of its members had carried out the raid on the site in Balad. The militant group follows an extreme form of Sunni Islam and often targets Shias, who it regards as apostates.
About 50 people were injured in the attack, police and medical sources said.
Islamic State: The full story
Worshippers were marking the Eid al-Fitr festival, celebrating the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, when the site came under mortar fire.
The first bomber then struck a market at the entrance to the shrine.
A third bomber was shot dead before he was able to detonate his explosive vest, reports say.
It came four days after IS carried out the deadliest bombing in Baghdad, 45 miles (70km) south of Balad, since the 2003 US-led invasion.
That attack target a shopping complex in the mainly Shia Muslim district of Karrada.
IS militants overran large parts of northern and western Iraq two years ago, but government forces have since regained much of the territory.
In response to the battlefield setbacks, including the recent loss of the western city of Falluja, the militants have stepped up their attacks on civilians.
The Iraqi government has been accused of not doing enough to protect its citizens and has stepped-up security in Baghdad in response to the latest violence.

Summary: Suicide bombers and gunmen with IS have attacked a shrine in Balad.

The $5m (??3.2m) prize is supposed to be awarded each year to an elected leader who governed well, raised living standards and then left office.
This is the fourth time in five years there has been no winner.
A committee member said the group looked "for excellence in governance but in leadership also".
Kenya's Mwai Kibaki met at least one of the criteria, after he stepped down as president earlier this year.
However, his 2007 re-election was tarnished by disputes which turned violent, leading to the deaths of some 1,200 people.
His opponent, Raila Odinga, said the poll had been rigged in favour of Mr Kibaki, who denied any wrongdoing.
Three people have won in the seven years since the prize was launched: Cape Verde's Pedro Verona Pires; Festus Mogae from Botswana and Mozambique's Joaquim Chissano.
Sudan-born telecoms entrepreneur Mr Ibrahim launched the prize in an attempt to encourage African leaders to leave power peacefully.
The $5m prize is spread over 10 years and is followed by $200,000 a year for life.

Summary: The prize from Ibrahim for good governance in Africa has gone unclaimed yet again.

She said she was "so proud and excited" about her new role, describing it as "a dream come true".
Terry, who has performed at the Globe in As You Like It, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Love's Labour's Lost, will take over from Emma Rice in April 2018.
Terry won an Olivier award for her performance in Tribes at the Royal Court in 2010.
She also wrote and starred in the Sky One series The Cafe, with Ralf Little.
Neil Constable, chief executive of Shakespeare's Globe, said: "Audiences have loved her sparkling and intelligent performances on our stage over the years - now they will have the opportunity to see her fresh artistic vision come to life as she moves into a new phase of her impressive career."
Terry most recently starred as the king in Henry V at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre, and as Grace in Katie Mitchell's production of Cleansed for the National Theatre.
The actor-manager is a role as old as the theatre itself, and is a tried and tested practice at the Globe - with Mark Rylance combining the roles with considerable success during his stint as its artistic director.
There is no obvious reason why an intelligent and versatile actress such as Michelle Terry, who is immersed in Shakespeare and the Globe, shouldn't make a success of it too.
This is as long as she is free to pursue her creative vision without unwelcome intrusion from a board who made a complete hash of the Rice era.
The news comes following the controversial announcement of Rice's departure. She is leaving after the Globe's board decided her methods were not authentic enough.
Rice took charge of the London theatre in January 2016 but has come in for fierce criticism, including for her use of sound and lighting technology.
Earlier this year Rice wrote an open letter to her successor, in which she claimed the board had sought to impose "a new set of rules that I did not sign up to and could not stand by".
Rice is now launching a new theatre company at London's Old Vic.
The Globe, which opened in 1997, is a reconstruction of a Shakespearean theatre on London's Southbank.

The mural, called Slave Labour, disappeared from a wall in Wood Green, north London, in February and appeared in a Miami sale.
But it was removed from the lot after protests by Haringey Council.
It is now up for auction in June in Covent Garden by the Sincura Group. A local councillor and the local Trades Union Congress have attacked the sale.
The mural, which depicts a boy hunched over a sewing machine making Union Jack bunting, appeared on the side of a Poundland store last May, just before the Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
A spokesman for the auctioneers Sincura said the mural "has been sensitively restored under a cloak of secrecy", and will go on show alongside pieces by Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Mario Testino and Russell Young.
But Wood Green councillor Alan Strickland said: "This is a piece of art given to the community for public enjoyment, and people will find it galling that you can only view this work at an expensive champagne reception, when it belongs with the people of north London, not a private owner.
"We saw the level of public anger last time, as the story went around the world, and I expect the same this time."
And Keith Flett, secretary of the Haringey Trades Union Congress, said: "The Slave Labour Banksy belongs to the people of Haringey not to a wealthy private client."
When the mural was up for auction in Miami, it was expected to fetch up to Â£450,000.
There was suspicion it had been stolen when it disappeared but the Metropolitan Police said there were "no reports of any theft".
Slave Labour will go on sale at the London Film Museum on 2 June.

Summary: A Banksy artwork which had been removed from an auction in Miami has been put up for sale again.

It came as 100 writers protested outside the council, demanding it take measures to protect freedom of speech.
Several writers have returned their awards to the council in recent weeks, protesting against what they call rising intolerance in India.
The Akademi has condemned "any atrocity against any writer" in India, and urged writers to take back their awards.
In recent weeks, growing numbers of writers have been protesting against book bans, the silencing of writers like Perumal Murugan following attacks by right-wing groups, and the killings of rationalists such as Malleshappa Kalburgi and Govind Pansare this year.
The Akademi had been criticised for not speaking out against the attacks sooner, with over 40 writers returning their awards to protest the institution's "silence" on the "attacks against dissent".
Akademi president Vishwanath Prasad Tiwari had earlier called the protest "illogical", but accepted a memorandum on Friday from the writers, who held a silent march to the institution's headquarters.
The Akademi then later issued a statement condemning "any atrocity against any writer anywhere in the country in the strongest of words".
It also condemned the killing of rationalist Kalburgi "and other intellectuals and thinkers", and called on "governments at the centre and in the states to take immediate action to bring the culprits to book and to ensure the security of writers now and in the future".
Speaking to the BBC, Githa Hariharan of the Indian Cultural Forum, made up of a number of writers who returned their awards, said that the Akademi statement was welcome although "late".
However she said that the issues that had prompted the protests in the first place remained a matter of concern for writers.
"The silence of the Sahitya Akademi was a tipping point for the pain and anguish felt by many of us who are struggling to recognise the India we grew up in. It became a symbol for our frustrations. But now it's time to move on to to addressing these larger issues as well," she said.
The writers' protest was seen as unprecedented in India.
Some of the writers who returned their awards included two of India's most highly respected writers, Nayantara Sahgal, and Krishna Sobti. Other writers like Shashi Deshpande, K Satchidanandan and PK Parakkadavu also returned awards and resigned from the Akademi's councils.

Summary: Sahitya Akademi, which bestows awards, has condemned recent attacks on writers and rationalists.

It comes after Ruskin College's governing body agreed to cut two of its six BA programmes and one of its three MA courses to save money.
College principal Chris Wilkes said the decision was related to "low student numbers rather than any other reason".
He said it would continue to focus on adult education.
Famous Ruskin College alumni include former deputy prime minister John Prescott and Dennis Skinner, MP for Bolsover in Derbyshire.
BA English Studies, BA History with Social Sciences and MA Women's Studies are being discontinued.
Anne Hughes, 63, from Thame in Oxfordshire, has been studying BA English Studies part-time at the college for two years.
She said she was "absolutely distraught" it was being cut.
She is physically disabled and has depression, and said she chose to study at the college because it worked with "disadvantaged, disabled and mature students".
The college also offers bespoke timetables, unlike some other places of higher education, she added.
Online petitions have been set up in a bid to save the English faculty and the Women's Studies course.
One signatory, Jenny Lewis, wrote on the first petition: "[Tutors] Helen Kidd and Tom Sherry are carrying on the great Ruskin tradition of bringing opportunities to those that otherwise would not have them."
Student and activist Saskia Ritchie, who set up the second petition, said Ruskin had been set up for "people who would traditionally be excluded from academia" and gives "access to truly excellent learning opportunities".
Mr Wilkes said the college would lose about 25 students as a result of the cuts.
He added degrees had been on offer at the college for about 10 years and were "relatively new" considering the college's 116-year history.
"Our focus will continue to be on educating adults and I think what we're doing is just renewing our offer but doing it in a different way, fulfilling our mission in a different way, to perhaps how we've done it in the past," Mr Wilkes added.
The college previously lost funding from the Skills Development Agency.

Summary: A college has moved away from providing degrees for students traditionally excluded from academia, students have warned.

He was responding to reports Beijing has deployed surface-to-air missiles on a disputed island in the region.
China dismissed the reports as "hype", but said it had the right under international law to defend itself.
Several nations claim territory in the resource-rich South China Sea, which is also an important shipping route.
A spokesman for Mr Kerry said satellite images appeared to confirm China had deployed anti-aircraft missiles on Woody or Yongxing Island in the Paracels.
The island is claimed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam and the presence of missiles would significantly increase tensions.
Mr Kerry said the US expected to have a "very serious conversation" with China over its presence.
"There is every evidence, every day, that there has been an increase of militarisation from one kind or another. It's a serious concern," he said.
The latest images of Woody Island were captured by ImageSat International.
A picture dated 3 February shows a beach on the island empty. By 14 February it contains several missile launchers and support vehicles.
But the Chinese Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, said reports were a Western media invention.
He defended "the limited and necessary self-defence facilities" on islands inhabited by Chinese personnel as "consistent with the right for self-preservation and self-protection.... under the international law".
China has been carrying out extensive land reclamation work in the region, which it says is legal and for civilian purposes.
But the work has angered other countries which also claim the territory, and there is growing concern about the implications of the area becoming militarised.
The South China Sea dispute has been a topic of debate at a meeting of South East Asian regional leaders in California.
US President Barack Obama said the members had discussed the need for "tangible steps" to reduce tensions.
Rival countries have wrangled over territory in the South China Sea for centuries, but tension has steadily increased in recent years.
Its islets and waters are claimed in part or in whole by Taiwan, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.
China has backed its expansive claims with island-building and naval patrols, while the US says it opposes restrictions on freedom of navigation and unlawful sovereignty claims - by all sides, but seen by many as aimed at China.
The frictions have sparked concern that the area is becoming a flashpoint with global consequences.

The 32-year old, who has won 12 caps for his country, has been signed to provide injury cover.
Ospreys tight heads Dmitri Arhip and Ma'afu Fia are currently sidelined and Rhodri Jones is in the Wales squad.
"Brian has proven quality at the top level and will add so much experience to the squad, particularly over the coming weeks," coach Steve Tandy said.
Mujati has played in Super Rugby with Lions and Stormers, in Top 14 in France with Racing Metro, and in England with Northampton Saints and Sale.
At Northampton Mujati was a losing Heineken Cup and Premiership finalist, and an Anglo-Welsh Cup winner.
Ospreys Head Coach, Steve Tandy, said he is expecting Mujati to make a big impact.
"This is an important signing for us given the injury situation with Dmitri and Ma'afu. Our performances this season have put us in a really strong position but we still have eight PRO12 games to go, and a Challenge Cup quarter-final in April," he said.
"In Rhodri Jones and Daniel Suter we have two young men who will be heavily involved but we can't go through such a big run of games with only two fit pro tight heads on our books, particularly with Rhodri still a part of the Six Nations squad and potentially away on Wales duty. It's a critical position and we felt that we had to act now."

Summary: Ospreys have signed former Northampton prop Brian Mujati from Northampton Saints.

Aiden Webb, 22, from Norwich, was climbing Fansipan mountain alone on Friday when he fell down a ravine and lost his way, his girlfriend Bluebell Baughan said.
Mr Webb, described as an experienced climber, was last heard from on Saturday when his phone went dead.
The Foreign Office confirmed it was assisting his family.
Mr Webb and Miss Baughan were on a four-month trip when he injured his arm and knee in the fall on the 3,100m (10,300ft) high Fansipan mountain in the north of Vietnam.
More on this and other stories from Norfolk
"He went to the mountain alone without a guide at 06:00 and aspired to climb it in one day," Miss Baughan said.
She was in touch with Mr Webb by phone when he informed her he had fallen and could not find his way back to the trail.
"He was sure he could make it back but by nightfall it was apparent he wasn't going to," she said.
"Aiden said a rock had cut his arm open and he had hurt his knee. We were in touch all night.
"He said no-one would be able to find him, but by 6am on Saturday he finally agreed to me getting help."
Miss Baughan, who is helping co-ordinate the search from the town of Sa Pa, said rescuers had been on the mountain since Saturday morning.
"Thirty-two men spent last night on the mountain, a mixture of military police, forestry workers and local police.
"There is only one police officer here in Sa Pa who speaks English, but everyone has been very helpful," she said.
Miss Baughan said conditions on the mountain were "very cold and wet".
"Aiden is a very good climber, but he is injured," she said.
Mr Webb's father and uncle are expected to arrive in Vietnam this evening although they will not reach the north until Tuesday.
A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokeswoman said: "We are supporting the family of Aiden Webb, a British man reported missing in Vietnam. We are working closely with the local authorities leading the search."

She was artificially inseminated earlier this year after attempts to bring her together with male partner, Yang Guang, failed.
The zoo said new scientific tests had given a "strong indication" of pregnancy, but were "too new to be definitive".
Tian Tian also conceived last year, but the pregnancy failed.
Iain Valentine, director of Giant Pandas for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, said: "The latest scientific data suggests Tian Tian the giant panda is now pregnant and that implantation has taken place, therefore she may give birth at the end of the month.
"This is all very new and complex science and we still have a bit of time to go yet.
"As like last year, the late loss of a cub remains entirely possible."
The zoo said it had been able to confirm that Tian Tian did become pregnant last year.
However, it said it was most likely that she had reabsorbed the foetus late term.
The two pandas arrived in Scotland from China in 2011.
Tian Tian has had cubs in the past in China, before she came on loan to Edinburgh.
If she does have a successful delivery, it will be the first time a giant panda has been born in Britain.
The panda enclosure at Edinburgh Zoo is due to close to visitors from Saturday ahead of a possible birth.

Summary: Edinburgh Zoo has said it believes its panda Tian Tian is pregnant and may give birth at the end of the month.

The money will be spent on designing systems to allow the chassis of future models to be made out of aluminium.
The first of these models will be a new mid-sized sports saloon car to be introduced in 2015.
The announcement was made at the Frankfurt motor show by JLR chief executive Ralf Speth.
"Today's announcement signals Jaguar Land Rover's ambitions to push the boundaries and redefine premium car ownership," he said.
"Jaguar Land Rover is a business driven by design, technology and innovation and this investment and level of job creation is yet further evidence of our commitment to advancing the capability of the UK automotive sector and its supply chain."
The design teams will be creating what they call an aluminium architecture, which is the part of the car on which the bodywork, seats and engine sit.
The idea is that it will be flexible enough to be the base for future model of either Jaguar or Land Rover cars.
In pictures: Jaguar C-X17
Carmakers are increasingly using aluminium in their vehicles because its light weight improves fuel efficiency.
The first car using the aluminium platform will be a smaller than other Jaguar models.
But in order to demonstrate the flexibility of the system, JLR has also unveiled a concept car called the C-X17, which is halfway between a sports car and an SUV, and could also be based on the new chassis.
JLR said that the jobs at the Solihull site would bring the total number of jobs it had created in the UK over the last three years to almost 11,000.
It also stressed that the investment would involve significant extra spending with its suppliers.
JLR has been owned by India's Tata Motors since 2008.

Summary: Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) plans to create jobs at Solihull as part of expanding its product range.
