Connacht attack coach Rod Seib is to leave the province at the end of the season, the club has announced.
Australian Seib joined the Westerners from Brumbies just last summer and was appointed as a senior assistant.
"We can confirm that Rod Seib will leave his role as attack coach with Connacht Rugby at the end of the season, to take up a new coaching opportunity abroad," said the province.
"We would like to thank Rod for all his efforts and his contribution this season, and we wish him and his family all the best in his new role."
Head coach Stuart Lancaster, who was appointed following former head coach Pete Wilkins' departure in April of last year, said: "While we are disappointed that Rod has decided to depart Connacht Rugby, we fully respect his decision and are extremely grateful for the contribution he has made to the province this season.
"His coaching has been outstanding, and he has had a great impact on the players helping them drive standards on and off the pitch.
"His departure opens an exciting opportunity here with us at the club. A role that offers the chance for someone new to step in, build on strong foundations and make their own mark on Connacht Rugby."
Last week Munster attack coach Mike Prendergast announced he was leaving the southern province at the end of the season and is being linked with a move to Premiership champions Bath.
