Handicapped by the absence of Vincent Giudicelli, injured in the shoulder, the Basque club wants to bring in its former hooker, Torsten Van Jaarsveld, as a medical joker. Contacts between the two parties are at an advanced stage.
Thursday, the Aviron Bayonnais players returned to training, after a few days of deserved vacation. They left for the Landes, in Soustons, for a short training course which ended this Friday. At the same time, the sky and white decision-makers continued to advance their pawns with the aim of taking a medical joker at the heel, to compensate for the absence of Vincent Giudicelli, injured in the shoulder.
Received this afternoon
After having surveyed Biarrot Luteru Tolai as indicated in our columns, they, according to our information, met Torsten Van Jaarsveld this Friday afternoon. The hooker, without a club since the end of his freelance work at Mont-de-Marsan, remained in the Basque Country. He trains alone while waiting to find a club, since at 37 years old, the Namibian still wants to play. He spent five seasons in Bayonne, from 2018 to 2023.
Will he experience one last enchanted parenthesis with a club that he holds in his heart? Everything suggests yes. If nothing has yet been signed, this afternoon's meeting went well and an agreement was reached between the two parties. All that is missing is the administrative formalities and the traditional medical examination.
