Head coach Mark Jones had said has had a personal matter where they were allowing him to spend time with his family.

However, ahead of their Welsh derby URC fixture with Scarlets yesterday, Ospreys say Nayacalevu will leave the region.

According to a statement, Nayacalevu in February and was due to remain with the club until June but, due to personal reasons, it has been mutually agreed to end his contract with immediate effect.

Nayacalevu started his career with Stade Francais before joining fellow French side Toulon in 2022.
