Fijian rugby player Luke Tagi has extended his contract with Aviron Bayonnais until 2028, the Basque club recently announced. Tagi, who joined the team in the previous season, has been a key contributor to the club.
His professional career began in 2019 when he moved to Paris to play for Stade Francais, where he made a total of 18 appearances over two seasons. Following that, Tagi moved to Aix-en-Provence in ProD2, where he enjoyed considerable success, notching up 45 league appearances and scoring eight tries over two seasons.
After his impressive stint in the lower division, Tagi made his return to the Top 14 with Bayonne. He further solidified his reputation as an elite player by excelling during the 2023 Rugby World Cup, where he showcased exceptional skills and athleticism, earning acclaim as a world-class talent.
The club expressed pride in their association with Tagi and emphasized his positive influence on the team. They also congratulated him and his fiancé, Stella, on this exciting new chapter in their lives, both on and off the field.
This extension not only reflects the trust that Bayonne has in Tagi’s abilities but also signals the player’s commitment to the club and its ambitions for the coming years. His continued presence will undoubtedly bolster the team’s prospects as they aim for success in the Top 14.
In a sport where teamwork and camaraderie are crucial, Tagi’s ability to inspire those around him could be a game-changer for Aviron Bayonnais.
