Former rugby league player Kyle Eastmond has left Bath to join Wasps ahead of the new Aviva Premiership season which starts on the first weekend of September.
The 13 man game convert had been with Bath since changing to the 15 man game in 2011 and was quick to get a call up to the England squad just two years later for the tour to Argentina.
Unfortunately in the last couple of years he's failed to push on internationally and the exciting centre has only six caps to his name. He'll be hoping a move to Wasps can help him get is name into Eddie Jones' thoughts.

Speaking about the move to the team who play at the Ricoh Arena the 27 year old said, "When you look at the talented players already at the club it's hard not to be excited about the possibilities and I feel I am joining a highly ambitious and motivated team, and I'm really looking forward to getting started"
Eastmond becomes Wasps 12th signing of the summer and joins two other very exciting signings in the backs division in the shape of Australian Kurtley Beale and former Sale fly-half Danny Cipriani.
Wasps director of rugby Dai Young was excited about the club's new centre saying, "Kyle is one of the most exciting centres in the Aviva Premiership and we're really looking forward to adding his talents to an already impressive group of backs at the club.

"At Wasps we like to play expansive, attacking rugby and Kyle is a player who can add a lot to that in terms of controlling the game as well as threatening defences, keeping the crowd on the edge of their seats."
