RUGBY UNION

WASPS have announced the signing of England international Kyle Eastmond.

The former Bath centre, 27, missed out on selection for the World Cup in 2015 and England’s subsequent tour to Australia and will hope his move can help him add to his six caps.

Eastmond, who started his career in rugby league with St Helens, said: “I’ve been impressed with the style of rugby and the way the club has developed in recent seasons and I’m really looking forward to the new challenge at Wasps.

“I feel I am joining a highly ambitious and motivated team.”
