French club Brive have signed England fly-half Andy Goode from Leicester.

The 28-year-old, capped nine times by England, joins compatriots Ben Cohen, Steve Thompson and Ben Johnston at the Top 14 club.

Brive revealed at a press conference that the 28-year-old has signed a two-year contract, with the option for an additional year.

Goode, who has nine England caps, has spent almost his entire 10-year career at Leicester, apart from a brief stint at Saracens in 2003.

Not just for money. With the signing of Juan Martin Hernández, Goode must have been worried about game-time as well

I don't see why it's shameful. Everyone changes jobs every now and then for money. These guys are no different to us in the respect that what they do is a job, and their job is a short lived one at that, I don't think any of them will play until the retirement age of 5, so therefore they have to make money where and when they can. Best of luck to them, and if it gives them the inside edge on french rugby come the nations, all the better.
