WASPS have announced that George Skivington will leave the club for Leicester Tigers in the summer.
The England Saxons captain said: "It has been a very difficult decision to leave the club that has played home to me for nine years, but with myself and my partner Rhiannon expecting our first child, we have made the decision to move out of the capital and begin a new challenge both personally and professionally."
In his place comes second row James Cannon from Northampton Saints.
Cannon joins in the summer on a two-year deal.
The 21-year-old already has a few friends at Wasps. He was part of England's U20 Grand Slam winning squad of 2008, which included Joe Simpson and Mark Odejobi and was captained by Hugo Ellis.
