Former England fly-half Olly Barkley has joined Welsh club Scarlets until the end of the season.

The 32-year-old, who started his career at Bath, makes the move following a short spell with French side Grenoble.

"I'm excited to be joining the Scarlets for the rest of the season and looking forward to getting plenty of game time after a frustrating period at Grenoble," he told the club's official website.

Barkley won 23 caps for England between 2001 and 2008.
