WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Former All Blacks winger Zac Guildford has signed for New Zealand provincial side Waikato and hopes to prove he is in a good "head space" after struggles with alcohol and personal issues.

The 10-test All Black, who shared in his country's World Cup success on home soil in 2011, was released by Super Rugby's New South Wales Waratahs last year for "wellbeing reasons" but returned home to play for amateur provincial side Wairarapa Bush before he moved to Waikato.
