Dave Foley to join Pau next season

Dave Foley will leave Munster at the end of the season to join Top 14 outfit Pau.

It was confirmed yesterday that the 28-year-old will be sidelined for the rest of the campaign with a wrist injury and the southern province this morning announced his departure.

Foley will link up with former Munster backs coach Simon Mannix at Pau and follows in the footsteps of former team-mates James Coughlan, Paddy Butler and Sean Dougall in moving to the French club.

The two-time capped Irish international made his Munster debut against Connacht in April 2010 after graduating from the province’s academy and went onto make 84 appearances in a red shirt.
