Raven has been involved in community projects with the Green and Whites

Nottingham back row forward Sam Raven has joined French side Blagnac after making nearly 100 appearances for the Green and Whites.

The 27-year-old re-signed for Nottingham in 2009 after spells with Rotherham and Cornish Pirates.

Director of rugby Glenn Delaney told the club website: "Sam has been a fantastic servant for the club.

"He made a brilliant impact both on and off the pitch. His effort has been second to none."

Raven said: "An opportunity has arisen in France that I could not turn down.

"I will not forget all the brilliant times I have had in Nottingham for many years."
