Leicester Tigers have given Matt Toomua permission to be released from his contract early to join up with the Melbourne Rebels.
“Matt Toomua flew back to Australia on Sunday and has already trained with the Rebels as they continue their Super Rugby campaign,” a club statement said.
After joining in 2016 Toomua went on to make 41 appearances for the English side and was voted their player of the year for the 2018/19 season by the fans due in part to his brilliant vision and passing abilities.
The 29-year-old leaves the club after joining during one of the most difficult times in their history and will look to march on to better things Down Under.
