Former England wing Christian Wade will ply his trade in France after signing for Racing 92 on a deal until the end of the season.
The ex-Wasps flyer has been searching for a club after his journey in American football ended when he was released by the Buffalo Bills in April.
Wade began his switch from rugby to the NFL in 2018, eventually joining the Bulls as part of the International Pathway Programme.
He made a stunning start to his career, scoring a touchdown in a pre-season match later that year, but would not make the Buffalo roster.
Following three full seasons in the sport, Wade has now returned to rugby and has signed for Racing, covering the absence of Regan Grace, who has suffered a serious injury.
"It's official I've signed for Racing," he told the Coventry Telegraph. "I'm going to be here for the rest of the year. This is officially my comeback to the world of rugby.
"I did four years in the NFL, had a great time, great experience, was able to make some good friends.
"I learned a lot of different stuff that has added to my career in terms of how I approach sports in general, especially at the elite level and I feel as though I've got a new level of expertise and experience I can bring to this team.
"Everyone knows about Racing but, having been in the environment for a week or so now, I can say this is probably the best environment I've been in and definitely one of the best teams in the world."
Wade came through the academy at Wasps and burst onto the scene in September 2011, scoring a hat-trick against Leicester Tigers.
He quickly became one of the deadliest runners in the Premiership but would struggle to convince England coaches Stuart Lancaster or Eddie Jones that his skills were suited for the international stage.
The speedster played once under Lancaster, impressing in a dominant victory over Argentina in 2013, but would not feature again for the Red Rose.
And although he had options to move back to the Premiership - and thus put himself back into Test contention - Wade has opted for the Top 14.
"There was interest from Japan, interest obviously in the Premiership, interest in America and then interest in France," he said.
"There was a little bit of interest in South Africa but, ultimately, being out of the game for four years I think there were some people who were wondering if I still had it.
"I'm not sure why that'd even be a question but it is what it is, I have to accept it and I'm not someone to shy away from a challenge.
"If people don't want to believe in me and stuff that's cool. That's pretty much been my career and constantly I've proved people wrong so I have that underdog mentality, that's what's been engraved in me."
