[6] He left Glasgow Warriors at the end of the 2002-03 season to sign for French side Tarbes who play in the French Pro D2 league. He played 22 matches for the French club but left them after one season. [1]

He then signed for Italian club Amatori Catania. In season 2005-06 he was nominated for Player of the Year in Italy. [7]
