Leicester Tigers have announced Australia fly-half James O'Connor and fellow Wallabies back Izaia Perese, are leaving the club at the end of the season.

O'Connor, 35, has been at Welford Road since last September when he joined Tigers for a third spell in England from New Zealand side Crusaders.

He has played 10 times so far this season, with his only try coming in Tigers' crushing 66-14 win over Exeter in the Prem Rugby Cup final last month.

In his six Prem appearances, he has kicked 18 points.
