England centre to join Toulon

Toulon are set to confirm 10 new signings for next season according to Midi Olympique.

The new signings are set to be revealed this week with Bath and England centre Jonathan Joseph among the new additions to the Top 14 club.

According to the report by Midi Olympique, Toulon confirmed the news on their website on Saturday before removing it soon after.

Joseph has been at Bath since joining from London Irish in 2013. 

The centre represented England at the Rugby World Cup in 2019 and was a member of the Six Nations and Autumn Nations Cup squad in 2020 but was omitted from the 2021 Six Nations.

Among the players rumoured to be joining the European giants are Quinn Roux and Cornell du Preez.

 Toulon will be looking to use the 2021/22 season to rebuild after failing to secure a place in the Champions Cup and failed to reach the playoff stages of the Top 14.
