Sale Sharks have announced the signing of Welsh International Lou Reed.
The lock, who joins on a two-year contract, has played for Cardiff Blues since 2012 after spell at the Celtic Warriors and the Scarlets.
Born in Treorchy, Lou started his career at the Celtic Warriors before joining Scarlets where he played over 100 games. He joined Cardiff in 2012 and has represented the Blues on 40 occasions including 17 games last season.
Having made his Test debut against Scotland in February 2012, the 28-year-old has five caps to his name.
He said: “After playing for Cardiff and Scarlets I am really looking forward to playing for Sale Sharks in the Premiership. I have been training all week and have been welcomed by everyone at the club.”
