Arriving last year from Lyon, Patrick Sobela had a high-level first season with USAP: 22 matches played, including 16 as a starter. The solid third line quickly integrated into the USAP with a state of mind that matches that of the club. This season he played six matches.
His contract is extended by one year, the Catalan club made it official this Monday. Patrick Sobela will still be a usapist next season. But for now, he will miss the competition six to eight weeks of land, according to manager Franck Azéma in the show 100% USAP on France Bleu Roussillon. Returning from injury last Saturday against Toulon, Patrick Sobela injured his thumb and will have surgery this Tuesday, December 3.
Winger Lucas Dubois, hooker Ignacio Ruiz, third row Jaco Van Tonder and prop Pietro Ceccarelli had already extended their contracts at the start of the season. The contract extension of third line Lucas Velarte is on track. Like every season, the club must manage more than ten contracts to be renewed or not.
USAP is still looking for the possibility of recruiting one or two medical wildcards. The Mattéo Le Corvec track is still under discussion: the third row of Toulon whose signature is in “very good way“for next season as Franck Azéma clarified, France Bleu Roussillon had revealed the contacts between the Toulon player and the Catalan club. There is still hope that the third row will come to Catalonia within a few weeks as a joker.
