 Southwell says he is looking forward to playing his rugby in France
|
Scotland full-back Hugo Southwell will leave Edinburgh in the summer after agreeing a move to Stade Francais.
The 28-year-old, who has 48 caps, has signed a two-year deal and will join international team-mate Simon Taylor at the French side.
"Stade Francais are one of Europe's best teams," Southwell told the club's official website.
"It is a great experience and a great opportunity for me to come to Paris. It's a great challenge in front of me."
Southwell was Scotland's first-choice full-back going into this year's Six Nations, but lost his place to Edinburgh team-mate Chris Paterson for the defeat by England after a disappointing campaign.
"I have spoken about it with Simon Taylor during the Six Nations and he only said good things about the club to me," he said.
Southwell has been at Edinburgh for six years after enjoying spells at Bristol and Worcester.
