(Reuters) - British and Irish Lions fullback Leigh Halfpenny will not be offered a new contract at Toulon after missing too many Top 14 games because of international duty, the club's president Mourad Boudjellal has said.

The injury-prone 28-year-old Wales international is out of contract after the two-year deal he signed with the French club in 2014 expired at the end of last season.
