Wallabies winger Adam Ashley-Cooper will leave Bordeaux-Begles at the end of the season after the club decided against extending his contract.
The 32-year-old, who has won 116 caps for Australia and starred at three World Cups, arrived in Bordeaux in 2015 and has been a rich source of tries for them.
"A few days ago they told me my contract would not be extended which is a shame," Ashley-Cooper said.
"Sports-wise and family-wise we love it in Bordeaux and love living in France. I'll have to give what to do next some thought."

Bordeaux sit seventh in the table with eight wins and eight defeats from 16 games.
