Seven-Test international Ben Tapuai has left the Queensland Reds and linked up with the Western Force for the next two Super Rugby seasons.

Tapuai started at inside centre for the Reds when they won the 2011 Super Rugby championship but injury had largely marred his past four seasons at Ballymore.

The 26-year-old only made 10 appearances in the Reds' disappointing 2015 campaign, with Samu Kerevi locking down the inside centre role.

"It's the nature of professional sport, but unfortunately Ben has suffered a few injuries and the good form of Samu (Kerevi) kept him on the bench in 2015," Reds coach Richard Graham said in a statement.

"We wish him well and are happy he has been given the opportunity continue his Super Rugby career at the Force."

The Brisbane-born Tapuai will be reunited with former Waratah Jono Lance at the Force in 2016, the pair having played together for the Reds in the 2011 Super Rugby final.

Another of their former Reds team-mates, Luke Morahan, joined the Force ahead of the 2014 season, with all three being old boys of The Southport School.

"There's an exciting squad at the Force at the moment and I'd like to think that I can bring some more experience to the squad from what I've learnt over the years, and contribute to helping us improve as a team," Tapuai said in Force statement.

"I spoke to Luke (Morahan), who's said what a good place the Force and Perth is to play rugby, and when I heard that Jono (Lance) signed - who I've also played with at school and the Reds - it was great to have the chance to play with him again too."

Tapuai played 67 matches for the Reds after making his debut in 2009.

He first appeared for the Wallabies in 2011, debuting against Wales in Cardiff, and played his most recent Test in 2012.

Meanwhile, the Reds have announced the re-signing of back rower Curtis Browning and outside back Chris Feauai-Sautia.

Browning, whose 2015 season was cut short by a knee reconstruction, agreed to a one-year contract extension, while Feauai-Sautia re-signed through to the end of 2017.
