"Nothing has been signed but we have come to a verbal agreement that I will prolong my contract for an extra year," Laporte told a news conference ahead of Toulon's Heineken Cup semi-final against Munster on Sunday.

Laporte said he had made the agreement after talks with club president Mourad Boudjellal.

"I have found a place here where I can easily balance work and family life, things I couldn't do before."
