Little used by the Lyon staff this year, French international winger Xavier Mignot has signed up with Nola Gold Rugby, the club from New Orleans, Louisiana in the United States. It will cross the Atlantic in January.
The surprising connection between France and Nola Gold Rugby, a club from New Orleans in the United States, continues. The Major League team, the first American division, announced the arrival of blue international winger Xavier Mignot. The Lyonnais should even begin his adventure in Uncle Sam's country in January according to information from Le Progrès. The one who wore the jersey of the France team once again during the tour to Argentina in 2016, was no longer part of the plans of the Lou staff this season. He has only played three matches since the resumption of the championship and has not scored a single try.

The rest of his story will therefore take on an American accent, he joined the Louisiana club and thus joined two other French people. Kélian Galletier (6 caps with the France team), also signed with the American club. Above all, the two players will be coached by Nicolas Godignon, the former coach of Rouen and Brive.
