Northampton Saints full-back Ben Foden will leave the club the end of the current season, the BBC report.
Foden, 32, has spent 10 years with the Saints and will play his final match against Worcester this weekend, which will be his 250th.
The England international has won 34 caps during his time with the Saints and helped the club win one Premiership title and two European Challenge Cups after joining from Sale in 2008.
Interim head coach Alan Dickens spoke out about Foden’s scheduled departure from the club.
Fodes has been a remarkable player for both Northampton Saints and England. We’ll miss having him around Franklin’s Gardens, both in terms of what he offers on the pitch as a player and a leader, but also as a character in the dressing room.
Foden himself said:
I’ve enjoyed some incredible highs at this club over the last 10 years, winning trophies both in this country and across Europe. I want to thank all of the team-mates and coaches that I have worked with in that time, as well as wishing everyone that is staying here all the best for the future.
Foden is set to make a move abroad in the summer and has reportedly held talks over a move to a club in America’s Major League Rugby franchise.
Team mates Stephen Myler and George North are also on their way out of the club at the end of the current campaign.
