Eleven years later. He returns to where his professional career began. Yann Lesgourgues will join Biarritz Olympique starting next season. The 33-year-old UBB scrum-half was coming to the end of his contract in Gironde (more than 200 Top 14 matches, 41 tries scored). Understudy of Baptiste Serin then Senpertar Maxime Lucu in Bordeaux-Bègles, Yann Lesgourgues signed with the BO for two years. The club made it official this Wednesday. Trained in Ondres, then within the club in Aguiléra, the player made his debut in the professional world under the Biarritz colors, which he left after relegation in 2014.
“His experience of the Top 14 with Union Bordeaux-Bègles, where he played for almost ten years, will be valuable not only for the current team, but also for future generations, says James Coughlan, the Biarritz sports director. It’s a return to basics that has a lot of meaning for Yann and for the club, and we can’t wait to welcome him back with us. We are convinced that his return will be beneficial at all levels: on the pitch, through his talent and dynamic style, but also off it, by guiding and inspiring our young players.”
