CARDIFF, Wales (AP) — British and Irish Lions prop Gethin Jenkins has become the latest Wales international to join the money-spinning French league after announcing he will move to a Top 14 club for next season.
Jenkins, one of the world's leading props, is reported in the British media to have agreed a deal with big-spending Toulon, whose squad already includes former England flyhalf Jonny Wilkinson and Australian utility back Matt Giteau.
Jenkins currently plays for Cardiff Blues but will join Wales teammates Mike Phillips, James Hook and Lee Byrne in France, where the salary cap for clubs is much higher.
The 31-year-old Jenkins says "it will be time for me to have a fresh start and a new challenge."
