Former England captain Courtney Lawes is due to travel to Brive later this week where he is expected to put the finishing touches to his move this summer from Northampton Saints.

The soon-to-be 35-year-old retired from international rugby after winning his 105th England Test cap at the recent Rugby World Cup. Lawes is out of contract with the Saints at the end of the season and has been blunt about securing the financial future of his family.

RugbyPass understands that he is due to attend Brive’s Pro D2 clash with Valence Romans at Stade Amedee-Domenech this Friday night – the same day as his birthday – where he could be unveiled as the club’s latest signing.

He accepted Brive’s offer of £30,000 (€35,000) a month over Provence’s almost £20,000 (€23,000 plus private school fees for his children), while Beziers enquired when it looked like the move had stalled.

Saints were confident that Lawes, who last year had turned his back on the chance to move to France at that time to extend his 17-year stay at Franklin’s Gardens, would stay at the club for the rest of his stellar career.

“I don’t think it is a million miles away, but there is nothing absolute. We are still hoping to can do something, but we will wait and see on that,” said Saints director of rugby Phil Dowson on a media call last week.

Lawes now looks as if he has made his decision to swap the Gallagher Premiership leaders, who are seven points clear of second-placed Harlequins, for France unless something dramatic happens between now and the weekend.

Brive have dropped down the Pro D2 promotion race after losing their last three games. They are currently ninth in the table, a point behind sixth-placed Aurillac who are in the last of the end-of-season play-off places.

Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

I found myself stuck in a cycle that had no end to it,I knew I needed to break out of that matrix or watch all I have ever worked for go down the drain all for nothing . The setbacks & mountainous taxes I faced in the later stages of my investment while trying to withdraw my assets, I vividly recall experiencing none of that in the earlier rounds when I started investing.Despite being faced with these abrupt taxes which I willingly paid hoping that my withdrawal process will be approved.Withdrawing my trading gains turned from a walk in the park to nothing but a disappointing & frustrating experience filled with unending commission and denied withdrawals altogether.This could have gone on until I was bankrupt or worse homeless in the streets, it breaks my heart When I remember how lost & broken I felt upon discovering the investment company was fraudulent because I always thought I knew better & not the type to fall victim to such. Finding yourself in such situation and not knowing what to do or where to begin your search for a solution to get your invested asset out is an experience and a feeling that not just anyone understands,”it’s like a been there done that kind of situation”, drowning in your own pool of regrets & self blame while battling the thoughts of the possible loss of your whole investment . I Searched high & low and left no stone unturned in my quest for assistance,I faced countless disappointment from firms & institution I thought I could rely on, not to mention the discouragements from friends & family who wanted me to give up on my search and consider damage control, instead of trying to recover what I lost as it was clearly costing me more & taking it’s toll on my overall wellbeing, but of course I paid no attention to the negative comments.

And it’s not until I tried and tried and tried again did my search lead me to “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM”. Valor Team handled my request & complaint with ease and ethics that I have never seen before in my life , after “VALOR TEAM’S” interception in my case my idea of possibilities heightened. My newly found awareness towards Investments & “Investment Frauds” gave me the push to share my experience in an attempt to help the next victim who is probably going through the same emotional rollercoaster of uncertainty and failed expectation from sources they trusted ,to search no further but head straight to a Renowned & Legit asset recovery company “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM” , because this team in question worked round the clock to ensure my invested asset were pulled from the fraudulent investment company. It became clear to me after getting scammed that it’s no news anymore to loose money through an investment scam ,it has become a widespread problem that’s eating deep into the savings account of my fellow Americans and the world at large and it’s high time we fight fire with fire. Fighting Fraud, Fraud prevention, detection & Asset recovery works better when everyone that has ever come in contact with “Valor team” and can attest to the company’s authenticity(who ) also understands how this team works, to go Public make & it an obligation to educate your family, team, anyone & everyone within your reach (the next victim or the world in general) to use a trusted Asset Recovery Solution like “VALOR HACK RECOVERY TEAM”  to identify problems/foul play in any investment or business deal they wish to venture in to.
