Ireland scrum-half Noel Reid has become the latest Leicester player to join the exodus from Welford Road by agreeing a two year-deal with French Top-14 side Agen.
Reid, who made over 100 appearances for Leinster between 2011 and 2019, was disinclined to take a pay cut with the Premiership Rugby outfit as they attempt to reduce their salary outgoings amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The 30-year-old won his one and only Ireland cap against Argentina in 2014 and is now poised to link up with a compatriot in southwestern France in the form of Dave Ryan.
Agen were second-from-bottom in the Top-14 before the crisis brought at end to the season.
Leicester have already lost Manu Tuilagi to Sale Sharks and Telusa Veainu to Stade Francais after they also refused restructured wage deals.
