Australia fly-half Quade Cooper has signed a two-year contract to play for French champions Toulon, the club announced on its website Friday.
Capped 52 times by the Wallabies, the 27-year-old Cooper will join his new teammates during the summer to prepare for the 2015-16 season.
Cooper is currently playing for the Queensland Reds in the Super-15 competition, but he broke a shoulder blade in a game earlier this month and will be out of action for up to two months.
The playmaking Cooper has endured two injury-blighted seasons and has dropped down the Wallabies pecking order.
He was sidelined for three months after fracturing his collarbone at training in January and was out for 16 weeks last year with a shoulder joint injury.
Cooper suffered his latest shoulder injury in making a tackle in his second game back for the Reds after recovering from the collarbone injury.
Toulon are currently seeking a second straight Top 14 and European Cup double.
