Leicester Tigers have agreed terms with Jordan Taufua, allowing the back-rower an early release from his contract to take up an opportunity in France.
The release was subject to a successful completion of a two-part medical, which has now been completed. He is expected to join Lyon.
Taufua made 18 appearances for Leicester since debuting in November 2019 and scored three tries.
The back-row forward was reported to have been involved in the contract dispute after which five Tigers players left last summer, but he then signed a new deal in July.

- Jordie Barrett over Damian de Allende is far from being correct. The hype around Dupont is also overreaching, he's probably 4th in the world and has been since the 2023 WC. He also avoids certain matchups which is strange. The rest of the list is pretty good apart from minor subjective biases.JasonMarlow16-09-2026
