Nemani Naidolo, Leicester winger, is leaving the Premiership champions for Waratahs. He will join Waratahs in the new Australian Super Rugby season that begins in February.
Fiji’s international, aged 34, has reached a “mutual arrangement” with Tigers, to be released mid-way through the English campaign.
Nadolo finished as the club’s top scorer with 10 tries in last season.
“On behalf all club members, I would like to thank him for his contributions.” said Leicester head coach Steve Borthwick.
“His decision to go home to Australia with his family is a decision he made and one we as a club support.”
Nadolo, despite being born in Fiji, grew up Australia and played for Crusaders as well as Waratahs in Super Rugby.
He moved to Leicester from Montpellier in 2020.
Nadolo said, “I’ll always be grateful to the club because it understood my situation”
“There is much rugby to be done from now until my departure and I look forward hopefully to making many more memories in the Tigers’ jersey.”
