Wasps have announced the signing of former Australia flanker George Smith for next season.

The 34-year-old forward, who won 111 international caps with the Wallabies and was part of the side that lost the 2003 World Cup final against England, spent last season in France with Lyon.

Previously he has played for Toulon and Stade Francais in Europe and Suntory Sungoliath in Japan, while he won the Player of the Year award eight consecutive times during his time stint with the Brumbies in Super Rugby.

Wasps said in a statement: "Wasps today confirmed the signing of George Smith from Lyon. The Australian flanker will join Wasps ahead of the 2015/16 season."
