It’s official, Joris Jurand will take the (short) direction of Clermont, after five seasons in the ranks of CA Brive. The player trained in Chateaurenard then Provence Rugby had joined Corrèze in 2018 when he belonged to Montpellier. Loaned by the MLHR as a medical joker, he will have scored 17 tries in 84 games under the white and black tunic of Brive.
Versatile player, who can play on the wing or at the back, Christophe Urios, the coach of Clermont, said he was delighted to have him under his command from next season. “I like these kind of players. He is a powerful, mobile, robust fullback who is capable of putting danger all over the field and whose running trajectories will pose quite a few threats to opposing defences. When he carries the ball, it moves!”
“The club needs boys like Joris who have roughness, character and a path that is anything but smooth, continued the former manager of UBB, He is in line with the players who will join us, boys who will wet the jersey and fight for our colors with the ambition and the desire to advance the ASM project.
