Scotland lock Richie Gray will leave Castres for Top 14 rivals Toulouse at the end of the season.
The 26-year-old has agreed a four-year deal with the four-time European champions and says the opportunity was too good to turn down.
"This was a very difficult decision to make," said Gray. "I have loved my time in Castres, the club and the supporters have made my time here very special and I will leave with very fond memories.
"However the opportunity to play for one of Europe's most successful clubs, steeped in history, is an incredible one for me.
"When I met with the club they described their ambition and I felt this was the right move for me, to challenge myself in what is a very strong squad.
"I still have seven months here at Castres, I will give everything I can to the club in hope of achieving top six and then who knows.
"My goal for now is to leave Castres on the best possible note, I will give everything I can to the club, the players and the coaches."
Gray, who featured in all five of Scotland's matches at the World Cup as they reached the quarter-finals, joined Castres from Glasgow Warriors in 2013.
