Nick Frisby signs for Bordeaux

Exiled Queensland Reds halfback Nick Frisby has signed with French Top 14 club Bordeaux for the remainder of the European season, confirms ESPN.

Frisby is contracted to the Super Rugby franchise until the end of 2019, but he was told by Queensland coach Brad Thorn late last year, along with Quade Cooper, that he was not in the Reds' plans.

The 25-year-old has been released by Reds on a short-term contract, and is due back in Queensland when the French season concludes in June.

At that point, Frisby is expected to return to Brisbane Premier Rugby club GPS, who first revealed the details of his move via Instagram.
