Adam Whitelock has become the second of Canterbury's four high-profile brothers to sign an offshore contact.

Whitelock , 27, will leave for Top 14 side Bayonne at the end of the provincial season. He has signed a two-year contract, with the option of extending it for another year.

Whitelock made his Canterbury debut in 2008 and first played for the Crusaders a year later, going on to earn 55 Super Rugby caps. He won a reputation as a hard-working, versatile back who could play centre or wing and this year played for the All Blacks Sevens at two tournaments.

Two years ago he played several Crusaders games alongside his three brothers - established All Blacks lock Sam, one-Test flanker George and former junior All Blacks captain Luke. George left in June to begin a contract in Japan.
