Wing Cohen seals switch to Brive

England and former Northampton wing Ben Cohen has signed for French side Brive, according to BBC Radio Northampton.

Cohen's agent Richard Thompson has confirmed that the 29-year-old has agreed a deal that will keep him in France until 2009.

Cohen left Northampton in August after being overlooked for the captaincy.

He bought himself out of his Saints contract so he could join Leicester, but his testimonial earnings would have broken their salary cap.

Cohen's testimonial year at Northampton, where he spent 10 years, is expected to raise around �300,000.
