The right pillar of Stade Français Paul Alo-Emile extended his contract with the capital club this Thursday. Today he signed a contract for two additional years plus one option.
It was one of the big files of Laurent Labit and Thomas Lombard. The Director of Rugby and the General Director of Stade Français had made the extension of Paul Alo-Emile (32 years old) an absolute priority, almost putting all other files on standby. And for good reason. Arriving in 2015 from the Melbourne Rebels, the Samoan international is one of the executives of the Parisian locker room. In 2020, during the return to the club of manager Gonzalo Quesada, he was even elected, during a vote within the group, captain of the capital club. On the pitch, he is above all the cornerstone of the Parisian melee. With or without him, the stadium performance is not the same. On the contrary.
A two-year contract and one year option
For all these reasons, its extension was therefore imperative in the eyes of management. Obviously, the competition was tough. The performances of “PAE” did not leave us indifferent several Top 14 teams. The Pau Section was also positioned to welcome him. The native of Henderson, New Zealand, finally chose to continue his adventure in Paris. He therefore signed a new two-year contract today, with the possibility of activating an additional third season.
