Olympic Silver medallist Josaia Raisuqe has officially signed a two-year contract with Brive, a club in the Corrèze region of France known for its strategic strengthening for the upcoming season. The 30-year-old player, currently with Castres, will be reunited with coach Pierre-Henry Broncan, under whom he has previously played in Tarn. While Raisuqe has mostly played on the wing, he has also taken on responsibilities in the third line at times.
This transfer marks a significant step for Raisuqe, who will be exploring his fourth club in France after having played for Stade Français, Nevers, and Castres Olympique. Despite having a limited role this past season with only three appearances (including just one start during the Champions Cup against Northampton), joining Brive presents a new opportunity for him to make a greater impact.
Raisuqe’s move to Brive not only reflects the shifting dynamics within rugby clubs in France but also highlights the increasing trend of players reuniting with coaches they previously worked with, fostering a familiarity that can lead to improved performance on the field. His Olympic experience will be an asset as he continues his career in European rugby, and fans are hopeful that he will emerge as a key player for Brive in the upcoming season.
Overall, Raisuqe’s transfer signifies potential growth not just for him, but for the Brive squad as they aim to enhance their competitiveness in the league.
