FORMER Newport Gwent Dragons flanker Dan Lydiate has confirmed that he is returning to Wales from Racing Metro.
The 26-year-old blindside move to the Top 14 from Rodney Parade in the summer of 2013 but has reached an agreement to head home after the autumn internationals.
His destination has not been confirmed but Lydiate, who made 85 appearances for the Dragons, has been linked with a move to the Ospreys on a dual contract with the Welsh Rugby Union.
Lydiate said : “I would like to thank Racing Metro 92 for their welcome, and the 17 months I spent at the club.
“I would also like to thank the club officials for their understanding, and especially the way they agreed to release me from my contract.”
"We wish Dan an excellent end to the season with his new club," said Racing Metro 92 chairman Jacky Lorenzetti.
