Montpellier Héraultais Rugby formalized this Wednesday the arrival of international hooker Christopher Tolofua (30 years old, 8 caps), from Rugby Club Toulonnais, as a medical joker. He has also signed up for the next three seasons with the MHR, until 2027.
As of Sunday, the Rugby Club Toulonnais announced the departure of its hooker. The Var club specified in a press release: “Rugby Club Toulonnais, wishing to keep its player until the end of the current season, has finally decided to release Christopher who had been expressing, for several weeks, his wish to join Montpellier without delay. This departure is effective immediately.”
The 30-year-old began his professional career in Toulouse, then joined Saracens in England because a neck problem prevented him from playing rugby in France at the time. He finally signed with the RCT in 2019. He has eight selections with the XV of France.
