VAEA Fifita has left the Scarlets to join newly-promoted French Top 14 side Montauban.

- BEN JAMES Reporter

The French club reached the top flight after defeating Grenoble following an unlikely Pro D2 playoff run.

They have now moved to sign the 33-year-old Tongan international who previously played Test rugby for New Zealand - ahead of their first season back in France's top division.

Fifita leaves Llanelli after three years, having joined from Wasps in 2022. It's understood the Welsh side have received a transfer fee as part of the move and have a replacement signing lined up.

During his time at Parc y Scarlets, the lock and back-rower played 56 times, scoring 10 tries.

"It's not been an easy decision for myself and my family to move and I have really enjoyed my time at Parc y Scarlets with a great group of players," said Fifita.
