The former England first five Danny Cipriani wants to see out the second year of his contract with the Melbourne Rebels and has promised to abide by the Super rugby team's rules.
The 23-year-old's debut season was marred by disciplinary problems, including being fined for a nightclub incident and excluded from the team for a month for breaches of team curfews.
Cipriani, who left England in a bid to resurrect his career after falling out of favour with coach Martin Johnson, said he had struggled to adapt to the culture of the Australian club and had been misunderstood and misjudged.
The number ten, who mixed moments of brilliance with some poor defensive play as the Rebels were handed the wooden spoon in their debut season, says the arrival of Wallabies backs Kurtley Beale and James O'Connor was a factor in his deciding to stay.
