James Down is on the lookout for fresh employment after the former Cardiff lock left Russian outfit Lokomotiv Penza in protest against the country's invasion of Ukraine.
Down, 34, joined Lokomotiv in 2020 after a 14-year rugby career in the United Kingdom, his two stints with Cardiff separated by a season-long stay at London Welsh in 2014/15.
But the second row informed his Russian employers he was headed for the exit after news of the siege on Ukraine broke, leaving all his belongings behind in favour of a swift exit.
