Former Flying Fijians flanker Johnny Dyer has secured an extended contract with the French Pro D2 club Biarritz, committing his future to the team until 2027. Initially, Dyer’s contract was set to end in June, but following a notable recovery from an Achilles tendon injury sustained in a preparation match against Bayonne last year, club director James Coughlan decided to keep the talented 32-year-old on board.
Coughlan expressed enthusiasm regarding Dyer’s contract extension, highlighting it as excellent news for the club’s future. He emphasized Dyer’s significant role and impact on the team, acknowledging not only his on-field abilities but also his leadership and influence within the squad.
Since joining Biarritz four years ago, Dyer has become a crucial component of the team’s dynamics. Coughlan noted that Dyer’s reputation as a stellar striker and formidable ball carrier is well recognized in France, complemented by his fighting spirit and commitment to teamwork.
This contract extension is a testament to Dyer’s dedication and resilience, and it reflects Biarritz’s confidence in him as a key player going forward.
By committing to Biarritz, Dyer not only reinforces his professional ambitions but also strengthens the club’s aspirations in the Pro D2 league. This development is promising for both Dyer and Biarritz, making for an exciting next few years in their rugby journey.
