Paris - Australia and Reds scrumhalf Will Genia has signed a three-year contract to join Top 14 club Stade Francais after this year's Rugby World Cup.
"We can confirm that Will Genia will be part of our squad after the World Cup (which ends October 31). It's a great signing and one which will strengthen our squad in a vital position," Stade Francais president Thomas Savare said on radio France Bleu 107.1.
The Papua New Guinea-born Wallaby had been linked with a move to Europe for months but Bath were firm favourites to sign the 27-year-old, who even signed a pre-contract with the English Premiership side.
