Leinster have announced that Ben Te'o is to leave the province at the season.
The Australian is to leave to join English side Worcester Warriors after two years in the RDS. He has played 23 times for the province, scoring five tries since moving from NRL side South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Te'o joined the province, directly after Brian O'Driscoll's retirement. He was seen as a direct replacement for the former Ireland captain. He broke his arm on his debut against Edinburgh and failed to have a consistent run in the team.
"I'd to thank Leinster Rugby for giving me the opportunity to go back to Union and to the fans for their support in particular when out injured. I look forward to finishing the season with Leinster as strong as possible.", the Australian said in a statement released by Leinster Rugby.
Worcester Head Coach Dean Ryan was delighted with the signing of the outside centre. "Ben is a really exciting talent and has proved he is more than capable of transferring his skills from League to Union. His experience and power in the centre will add further depth to our midfield and we're looking forward to him joining up with the side."
