Ben Te’o’s England career is over after he signed a short-term deal with French Top 14 side Toulon.
The 32-year-old centre, who has 18 caps, was a surprise omission from Eddie Jones’ squad for the World Cup in Japan starting next month.
The Rugby Football Union has reiterated its selection policy with regards to foreign-based players.
It is understood he was involved in an off-field altercation during England’s summer training camp in Italy.
Te’o has signed a contract with the French side until November to provide cover for World Cup absentees.
He left Premiership side Worcester at the end of last season after just 33 games for the Sixways outfit over three years following his arrival from Leinster.
