England Sevens star heading to Biarritz
Top 14 outfit Biarritz have agreed a deal to sign England Sevens star Dan Caprice.
The 21-year-old previously played for Saracens and Blackheath before becoming a full-time member of the Sevens squad.
However, after impressing on the IRB World Series circuit, Caprice has now signed a two-year deal to move to France.
Caprice said: "I'm pretty excited about the move and really looking forward to it. It was a hard decision to make but I'd always wanted to play in France.
World-class
"They're one of the top teams in Europe and you only have to look at the players there to see that the chance to train day-in, day-out with them is great. The coaching staff are brilliant and I was blown away by the place when I went over there."
England Sevens head coach Ben Ryan has hailed the development Caprice has made since being part of the first intake of full-time players.
Ryan said: "Dan is a great example of a sevens player going on to be noticed by a top European team.
"We wish him every success with the next stage of his career and he's developed really well during the time he's spent with England Sevens. In a short space of time with us he's gone from being an academy player to a world-class sevens player."
