It's not easy to recruit when you're in a lower division and considering moving up a level. You can't attract big names because they don't have the certainty of always evolving at the same level. So, you have to be smart and target other players who could be interesting.
In recent days, Brive has started to advance its pawns for next season, both by extending players while finalizing the recruitment of new players. If the 2nd line seems closed, there are other positions where things will change.
According to ProgressBrive is interested in Yanis Charcosset, the Lyon hooker.
Originally from Saône-et-Loire, Yanis Charcosset grew up in Beaujolais and started playing rugby there at the age of 5 at the Belleville-en-Beaujolais club. In 2016, he joined the Lyon training course to continue to learn and progress. In September 2021, at just 20 years old, he made his debut in the first team by entering the game in the Top 14. He will subsequently experience his first in the Challenge Cup, his first tests. This first season will see him win the Challenge Cup against Toulon. If his playing time remained stable during the following two seasons, it was a little more complicated this season with 3 starts in 6 matches but with the injuries to his position, he has been tenured for several weeks.
At the end of the contract at the end of the season, Charcosset will not be retained by its training club. But his profile interests several clubs. Including Brive who received him to visit the facilities and meet Pierre-Henry Broncan. With three hookers at the end of their contract at the end of the season (Da Silva, Pélissié, Hamel), Brive must clarify this position of its workforce.
