Waratahs back Matt Cararro is leaving NSW to play for English rugby club Bath.

The move pulls the curtain on a five-year stint at Randwick for Carraro who moved to the club following two years at Sydney University.

The 24-year-old winger and centre was picked up by the Brumbies Super 14 team in 2007 before switching to the Waratahs in 2008 to play eight games for the NSW side.

Team mate Tim Maxwell said Cararro's departure will be a big loss.

"Even though he was often away on rep duties, Matt could not wait to get back to play along side his mates at Randwick.

"This is a great opportunity for Matt as he has been playing some fantastic football," Maxwell said.
