Welsh wing Regan Grace is reportedly returning to rugby union with a move to Top 14 side Racing 92.
The 25-year-old had been offered a contract extension by St Helens rugby league club and had several Gallagher Premiership outfits keen to secure his services.
But according to information from Midi Olympique the free-scoring wing has signed up at Racing for a season with the option of an extra year.

It means he will not be coming back to Wales to play his rugby just yet amid suggestions of dithering and the professional teams having all but spent their player budgets for next season. The idea of the Welsh Rugby Union signing him had been floated but nothing came of it and he has now evidently looked further afield.
Potentially, he could still be available to Wayne Pivac’s Wales team heading towards the World Cup in France next year.
Grace will first need to show he can deliver in union as he has done in league, where he has piled up 86 tries in 137 outings for St Helens.
Racing have also signed Cameron Woki, Warrick Gelant and Asaeli Tuivuaka.
