Saracens No8 Billy Vunipola has joined the burgeoning list of England internationals moving to the Top 14 next season by agreeing a two-year deal with Montpellier, according to French outlet Midi Olympique.
The report comes almost two weeks after a potential move was flagged by RugbyPass.
The 29-year-old will bring his decade-long stay with the reigning Gallagher Premierhsip champions to an end at the close of this season, and team up with fellow England No8 Sam Simmonds in the south of France.
The move will continue Montpellier’s recent tradition of recruiting English No8s, with Zach Mercer also winning the Top 14 with them in 2022.
Vunipola will join his Saracens teammate Owen Farrell in moving to France at the end of the season, with the fly-half set to join Racing 92.
