While he had suggested that this season was going to be his last, Camille Lopez officially extended his contract with Aviron bayonnais for an additional year. The announcement was made on social networks by the Basque club.
It's been in the pipeline for several weeks, it's now official. Camille Lopez has extended her contract with Aviron Bayonnais for an additional season, until 2026. A signing far from obvious a few months ago, since the native of Mauléon had suggested that the 2024/2025 season was going to be his last. But thanks to the intervention of the Basque staff, the fly-half decided to continue his adventure on the banks of the Adour. Arriving in Bayonne in 2022, the former Clermontois experienced a rebirth on his native lands, where he found his best level. On his social networks, the current fourth in the Top 14 congratulated himself on this contract extension: “Author of 2 huge seasons since his arrival, he will continue to bring his rage to win to the whole group!”

Relieved by the arrival of Joris Segonds this summer, the fly-half (1m76, 90kg) has only played seven games as a starter this season for a total of 66 points.
