Zapping Fifteen World 6 Nations Calendar 2024
Wilfrind Hounkpatin has had a very eventful season. The Castres Olympique pillar was sentenced to 12 months in prison, suspended, for domestic violence. These accusations led the CO management to suspend the player, before requalifying him later in the season.
Wilfrid Hounkpatin’s 2023-2024 season with Castres ended at the beginning of March, enough to consider the rest of his career with the Tarn club with a lot of pessimism, with which he is linked until 2026. But the player could having already found a new base, which he could reach this summer: Montpellier.
Hounkpatin in addition to Haouas
According to information from our colleagues at L’Equipe, the Hérault club and the pillar have discussed quite a bit about this transfer, which now seems to be on very good track. Castres Olympique would in fact be ready to release their player prematurely, two years before the end of his contract.
If this transfer is confirmed, it will cause a lot of talk, just as the transfer Mohamed Haouas (also convicted of domestic violence) to Biarritz caused a lot of talk at the time. Mohamed Haouas will also make his return to MHR next season.
To sum up
Montpellier Hérault Rugby continues its recruitment, and could also record an arrival which, if confirmed, should cause quite a bit of talk. A Top 14 player, affected this season by very inglorious news, could in fact leave his current club earlier than expected to join Hérault.
