The talented but troubled Australian utility back James O'Connor says his decision to make a fresh start to his rugby career in England has been the toughest he's had to make.
O'Connor hopes to return next year and break back into the Wallabies squad for the 2015 World Cup.
The 23-year-old, who was released from his Australian Rugby Union contract last month, ended talks with his former club Western Force, having decided he needs a complete change of environment.
O'Connor says his move abroad isn't all about money, and he hopes to return home in May.
