Brumbies fullback Jesse Mogg has left the door open for a return to Super Rugby after signing with French outfit Montpellier on a three-year deal.
In a YouTube video posted on Friday, Mogg said news of his departure at the end of the season had come out earlier than planned.
“I just personally wanted to let you guys know this will be my last season at the Brumbies and I’ll be heading offshore to France for the next three years,” he said.
“I moved down to Canberra at the end of 2009 as a skinny kid. I built a home in Canberra and some great friends and memories.
“I’d just like to thank you guys, especially the Brumbies members, for the times we’ve had together at Canberra Stadium and all around the world.”
In Cape Town for Sunday’s crunch Super Rugby match against the Stormers, the 25-year-old also hinted at a return after his French stint.
“This isn’t the end, it’s just a little departure and hopefully not for a very long time,” he said.
“Again, I’d just like to thank you for what you guys have done for me, and what Canberra’s done for me, and I’m looking forward to the next chapter of my life.”
Mogg will join current teammate and Wallabies halfback Nic White at Montpellier, and reunite with former Brumbies coach Jake White and captain Ben Mowen.
