Former All Black Chris Masoe has rejected the chance to join Glasgow Warriors at the end of the season.
The Warriors had held talks with the 32-year-old loose forward, who is out of contract with Top 14 outfit Castres in the off-season.
However Masoe has now informed the Warriors that he will now be remaining in France.
"Although I'm not going to be joining the Warriors on this occasion, I'd like to make a point of putting on record how impressed I've been with the club and Scottish Rugby throughout this whole process," Masoe told the club's official site.
"My partner Gemma and I paid a visit to Glasgow and Scotstoun Stadium a few weeks ago, and we were both blown away by the warmth of the welcome we received from everyone at the club and the people we met around the city.
"The Warriors couldn't have done more to make us feel wanted, and as a result this was an extremely tough decision. The club are heading in the right direction and I wish them all the best for the future."
