Salesi Ma'fua's time at Toulon has been cut short following an assault conviction.

Wallabies prop Salesi Ma'afu has lost his lucrative contract with European champion Toulon after being convicted of assault,

The French Top 14 champions and the 32-year-old parted ways by "mutual agreement", Toulon club president Mourad Boudjellal announced.

Ma'afu was found guilty of assault and fined €1500 (NZ$2400) after an altercation with a woman in a car park in Mourillon earlier this year.

He was handed a suspended four-month prison sentence last month.

Ma'afu joined Toulon from English club Northampton for this season.

Toulon plan to bring in Fijian international prop Manasa Saulo to replace Ma'afu, although Saulo is suspended until January 16 after receiving a 10-week ban for stamping at the World Cup.

Ma'afu played 14 times for the wallabies in 2010 while he was with the Brumbies.

He also played Super Rugby with the Western Force before taking his game north in 2013.
