Henson poised for Toulon move

Toulon are today expected to announce the signing of Gavin Henson after the Wales centre was last night released from his Saracens contract.

Reports had yesterday suggested that the 29-year-old was set to make a move to the Top 14 club, home of England internationals Jonny Wilkinson and Paul Sackey, on a short-term deal until the end of the season after meeting with their millionaire owner Mourad Boudjellal.
