Premiership teams on the hunt for a free transfer can still find a host of stars available for nothing.
1. Kyle Eastmond
The six-times capped England centre is a free agent having left Dai Young's Wasps last month after an injury-plagued season. Now he looks set to return to Rugby League, but could definitely still be a brilliant signing for a Union team.
2. John Hardie
The 29-year-old kilted Kiwi has 16 Scottish caps under his belt before a brush with disciplinary issues when given a three-month suspension at the back end of 2017 for gross misconduct following allegations of cocaine use. Would be a great signing for anyone.
3. Dan Tuohy
After being released by Bristol the 11 cap Irish international was quickly signed by French Top 14 side Stade Francais who he played for until the end of the season. Now the 6ft 5in lock is in search of a new club once again.
4. Ma'a Nonu
The All Blacks great decided not to extend his contract with Toulon stating that he wants some personal time to mull over his future in the game. If he makes himself available there will surely be a queue a mile long for the World Cup winner.
5. Ben Foden
Made 250 appearances for Northampton Saints. A possible return to Sale Sharks has been mooted, which is also where he began his professional career back in 2004. He has also been linked with a possible move to the United States and an MLR franchise being set up in New York for 2019.
6. Francesco Minto
The fiery Italian international back-row or lock forward was surprisingly released by Benetton after a successful campaign which saw them win 11 out of their 21 fixtures in this season’s PRO14. He has 39 caps for Italy and is still capable of playing at a high level so it would be a surprise if he didn’t get picked up this summer.
7. Quade Cooper
It’s a mystery why hasn't already been snapped up. It surely won’t be long before he is playing professional rugby once more. Questions have been asked about his attitude but with his unquestionable ability there will be clubs in the hunt for his signature.
8. Jeff Hassler
He wants to keep playing but he doesn’t have a contract after his departure from the Ospreys and that has forced him to contemplate a possibility that a power-packed player in his prime at 26 really shouldn’t be contemplating.
