Dominic Waldouck is hoping that his move to Northampton Saints will boost his chances of England selection.
The 24-year-old former Wasps centre has represented England Saxons but he has yet to make his full test debut.
"My ambition to play internationally is still burning and I just thought coming to a place like this would give my career a kick-start," Waldouck told the Northampton Chronicle and Echo.
"You can't help but acknowledge the help these coaches have given to these players and improved them as individuals and as a team."
Waldouck submitted a transfer request with Wasps prior to the move.
