Nathan Hughes has become the latest released Bristol Bears player to find a new club ahead of next season.
Despite announcing back in the Spring that he was heading to French Top 14 side Clermont Auvergne, the former England number eight has now confirmed he is moving to play in the lucrative Japanses League One.
This week Hughes was unveiled as the latest star signing for Tokyo-based side the Ricoh Black Rams along with Welsh centre Hadleigh Parkes.
