Former FIJI Water Flying Fijians winger Filipo Nakosi has parted ways with French club Vannes with immediate effect after 18 months in Brittany.

The 33-year-old, who is the brother of Racing 92 centre Josua Tuisova, joined Vannes from Castres on a two-year deal ahead of their maiden Top 14 season in 2024/25.

Vannes were relegated after one season but are currently sitting eight points clear at the top of Pro D2 as they push for a return to the top flight.

Nakosi made 17 appearances during his time at the club.
