RC Vannes, currently last in the Top 14, is about to strengthen in the second line position. The Breton club should see the arrival of New Zealander Jesse Parete (31 years old).
The new year 2025 should start with a transfer to RC Vannes. New Zealand second row Jesse Parete (31) is very close to signing in Brittany, as Le Télégramme announces. Player of the Taranaki Bulls in the NPC (New Zealand provincial championship) with whom he played six matches this season, he can also play in the third row position. Former Highlanders player, he has already had his first training under the leadership of Jean-Noel Spitzer according to the Breton daily.
Parete experienced Super Rugby when he wore the Chiefs jersey from 2017 to 2019, then the Highlanders (2019-2020). In 2022-2023, he then left for the United States to spend a year playing for New England in MLR (Major League Rugby).
Vannes welcomes Clermont

This weekend, the Morbihannais will welcome a vengeful Clermont to La Rabine after their defeat at home against Montpellier.
