Sopoaga, 30, played the last of his 16 Tests in 2017 before heading to the Premiership side a year later.

According to RMC Sport, the former Highlanders playmaker has signed a two-year deal with the Top 14 team.

“It has been an absolute pleasure to play for Wasps over the last three seasons,” Sopoaga said in a club statement.

“I have made some great friends during my time at the club, and I will give my all for the rest of the season.”

Sopoaga heads to the Stade de Gerland to replace the retiring French outside-half Jonathan Wisniewski.
