 Murray has been virtually ever-present for Scotland since his 1997 debut |
Scotland captain Scott Murray has signed a two-year deal with French side Montauban, according to local reports. The 31-year-old Edinburgh lock is the latest big name to quit the Magners League to ply their trade elsewhere.
Murray became the most capped player in Scottish history after making a record 84th appearance for Scotland during the Six Nations tournament.
He is regarded as one of the world's best line-out jumpers and is a three-time Scotland player of the year.
Murray has joined back-row Simon Taylor (Stade Francais), centre Rob Dewey (Ulster), flanker Al Strokosch and prop Ally Dickinson (both Gloucester) in quitting Edinburgh this season.
