a departing UBB leader? The player talks about his future

If many players from Union Bordeaux-Bègles are currently selected, others remain at the club and make history. This is the case of Jefferson Poirot, who recently became the record player for the greatest number of matches played with the Gironde club (he played his 233rd match this Saturday). But will this journey at UBB end this summer?

The pillar is in fact reaching the end of his contract but indicated in the press that discussions were underway to consider an extension: “It’s a bit of a pivotal period. I expressed my desire to continue. Today I am thinking“What is certain in any case is that Jefferson Poiroit feels good in Bordeaux. Competition with the other pillars pushes him to surpass himself and far from worrying him, it motivates him: “I love being in a competitive, challenging environment. The level of Ugo (Boniface) and Matis (Perchaud) pushes me to give the best of myself“.

“A club that has evolved at the same pace as my career”

Concerning the staff of Yannick Bru, who arrived last season after the departure of Christophe Urios and the interim of the duo Frédéric Charrier-Julien Laïrle, Jefferson Poirot evokes people with whom he feels “in confidence”. An additional reason to stay in Bordeaux, if his will and that of the club leaders agree

“I was part of this adventure, it’s a lot of pleasure and pride to have been able to be in a club which evolved at the same pace as my career,” declared Jefferson Poirot, qHe has sometimes hesitated to leave but has also found, each time, good reasons to stay with UBB having seen considerable development over the last few years. It now remains to be seen whether the international pillar and his club will continue to move forward together or not.
