Glasgow Warriors have reached an agreement to release Brian Alainu’uese from his contract seven months early, allowing him to join Toulon.
The 24-year-old brings to an end a two-year spell in Glasgow where he made 22 appearances for the Warriors.
“It’s a decision that’s in the best interest of both the player and the club,” Glasgow Warriors head coach Dave Rennie told the club’s website.
“Brian’s had a number of injuries over the last couple of years and we’ve not been able to play him as often as we would have liked, but he’s a good man, is very popular among the squad and will be missed.
“When he’s fit and firing he’s an excellent player and we wish him all the best in France.”
Second-row Alainu’uese said: “I’ve really enjoyed my two years in Glasgow.
“They’re a good bunch of boys and everyone made me feel very welcome.
“I hope the club goes on to have a lot of success in the future.”
