Former Wallabies fly-half Mike Harris on Thursday penned a two-year deal with Pau after just two seasons in Japan with the Toshiba Brave Lupus, the French Top 14 side announced.

The 31-year-old, who won 10 caps from 2011-2014 and played Super Rugby with the Queensland Reds and Melbourne Rebels, is no stranger to France having moved to Lyon in 2016.

In 45 games with Lyon, Harris scored 158 points.

At Pau, Harris will be a ready-made replacement for former All Black Colin Slade, who has switched to the Japanese league, and Tom Taylor who was axed after leaving France without permission during the coronavirus lockdown.
