Racing 92 has secured a two-year contract extension for their Fijian winger, Vinaya Habosi, following a remarkable season in the Top 14. This development comes despite earlier speculation from French media about his potential departure from the Parisian club at the end of the season, which was linked to a restructuring of Racing 92’s backline as reported by L’Équipe in December.
Habosi joined Racing 92 in 2022 after showcasing his talent in his rookie season with the Fijian Drua. Known for his speed and agile running style, he quickly won the hearts of fans in France, seamlessly transitioning from Super Rugby to the Top 14. His impactful performances this season have reaffirmed his value to the team.
Previously, Habosi’s journey included a challenging period marked by off-field issues, including a domestic violence investigation. However, he has managed to turn his career around. In recent matches, Habosi played a crucial role in important victories, including scoring two tries in a European Champions Cup match against the Stormers, demonstrating his resilience and commitment to the team despite adversity.
His consistent performance not only showcases his talent on the field but also brings a sense of hope and determination to Racing 92 as they aspire for success in both domestic and European competitions. The team’s ability to overcome challenges, exemplified by Habosi’s contributions, reflects a spirit of resilience that may bode well for their future endeavors.
