London Wasps have completed the signing of Joe Carlisle, who will join the Adams Park outfit from Worcester Warriors at the end of the season.
The 25-year-old comes highly regarded as a young player with a big future.
Carlisle has made 90 appearances and scored 477 points for Worcester since coming through the club's Academy setup and earlier this season set a club record for the highest ever number of points in a European game.
Carlisle has been sidelined with injury for some of this season but is now back fully fit.
"I have been impressed with Joe over the last few seasons and he's a young English player I believe with a lot of potential," said London Wasps Director of Rugby Dai Young.
"He has an excellent kicking game and he attacks the line very well and has the ability to really get a backline moving.
"He's comfortable in the centre and at full-back as well as at ten and his aim moving here is really to reignite his career and I believe we can help him to do that. He'll be playing here with lots of other young English talent and I think he'll enjoy his time at the club."

Never really made it at Worcester, but good look to Joey - whilst a bit weak in defence and on the backfoot, on the front foot he can look mercurial and whatever the situation has a better goal kicking rate than Andy Goode.
