AS Mâcon is strengthening. This week, the club recruited 22-year-old hooker Pierre-Alexandre Duclieu. “I’ve been at it for a while,” says Julien Veniat, the Mâcon manager. Since the injury to Thibault Pépin (injured elbow, return hoped for mid-January), I knew we were going to be missing someone at the position. Against Rennes, we only had one professional hooker on the sheet. » A delicate situation made worse in recent weeks by the concussion of Maxime Villain in Bédarrides.

“A top player”
ASM has therefore filled its need at the heel with the arrival of a player who has played in Pro D2 (2022-23) and in the National (2023-24) with Massy. “He’s a top player,” says Julien Veniat. Having someone who has experienced the higher levels, trained at LOU, is great. He's a customer. He will bring us a lot. He has a heavy but explosive profile (1m81, 110kg). And he's a very good ball player. »
An addition that the Mâconnais club has validated while maintaining its recruitment strategy based on players from the geographical area and its multi-activity project. “Pierre-Alexandre is a guy from the Lyon region, who will do a work-study program with a partner of the club,” explains the ASM manager. This is not financial madness. »
The new Mâconnais hooker should be in the group this Sunday for the reception of Servette Genève after training all week with his new teammates.
