Alexandre Roumat, 24, has made his choice. His name had circulated for a while on the side of Racing 92. The 3rd row finally opted for the Toulouse proposal. He confirmed it this Monday on TV7.
“I decided to leave from Bordeaux. I am lucky enough to join Stade Toulousain for three years. Yes, of course, the decision was not very easy, it was carefully considered. I think it’s the right one. Of course, Stade Toulousain is a very great team, and on this level there is nothing to say. But Bordeaux is a great team now too. The proof is, last week, they were beaten. I’m very happy but the most important thing is above all that we end well this year with Bordeaux and that we end in style with the good bunch of guys we have.“
Arrived in Gironde in 2017, the former Biarrot quickly settled into the UBB team with whom he has played 71 Top 14 matches to date. A slender flanker, he is one of the assets of the Girondin pack in the key sector in particular. His versatility even allowed him to play a few games in the middle of the 3rd row.
Alexandre Roumat should cross the road of Toulousain Antoine Miquel this summer, whose name is circulating with insistence on the side of Union Bordeaux-Bègles.
