Teddy Thomas towards an extension in La Rochelle

Repositioned at the center of the Stade Rochelais attack, Teddy Thomas seems to be discovering a new lease of life. His convincing performances pushed the leaders to review their plan.

In the sights of Aviron Bayonnais and Biarritz Olympique in particular, Teddy Thomas was, at the start of the season, promised to leave at the end of his contract in 2025. Replaced as second center, the former Racing 92 runs at a rather interesting pace having started four times with the number 13 on his back (5 tries scored including a double against Toulouse and Bordeaux).

A two-year contract at stake

According to information fromAt the time of Rugbyits future should be written in La Rochelle. A contract covering the next two seasons was offered to him by maritime decision-makers, an offer which should be accepted by the main interested party.

Sometimes criticized for his irregularity and his few physical problems, Thomas brilliantly converted to a position that he had not previously known. With five tries already registered, the French international (31 years old, 28 caps) is well on his way to putting an end to his best season in terms of statistics. In 2020/2021, the native of Biarritz scored eight tries under the colors of Racing 92.

Biarritz and Bayonne failed

For several weeks, the name of Teddy Thomas had been associated with Aviron Bayonnais and Biarritz Olympique who wanted to find their player trained at the club. Like Alban Placines, who will return to the Basque Country next season as revealed by At the time of Rugby.

The Rochelais finally chose to stay at the Caravel club, thus putting an end to speculation regarding his choice for next seasons. Fixed on his future, he will be able to concentrate on the field… and that could spark some sparks!
