Tom Varndell signs for ProD2 side in France - reports
By Ian Cameron
The Premiership record try-scorer Tom Varndell has reportedly signed for a side in France's second-tier competition.
The former England flyer has apparently signed for Soyaux Angoulême XV Charente in the ProD2 on a two year deal.
While some might be surprised that a larger club haven't signed the proven try scorer, the budgets that many ProD2 sides can boast are well in excess of those available in other top-tier leagues.
Varndell most recently enjoyed a stint at Pro14 side Scarlets, after several years at the Bristol Bears.
The 32-year-old is the Premiership’s all-time record try scorer with 92. During his three-year stay at Bristol, Varndell chalked up 50 appearances and scored 35 tries.
His two previous clubs are Leicester Tigers and Wasps. He won the last of his four England caps against New Zealand in 2008.

Yeah nah he comes across as a funny bloke, but that stopped abruptly after the Nutcracker Prince debacle✋
Go to commentsAt this point I can’t watch him without thinking he’s a dirty slimebag. He should have been banned for the same amount of time that Quinn was out. It took Tupaea near on a fricking year to get fit enough to play again and his leg will never be the same. The other crap thing is that he was at ABs level and now he has to claw his way back there when he could have had several games under his belt.
