After his men's 35-10 victory against Nevers this Friday, president of Soyaux-Angoulême, Didier Pitcho announced the extension of nine players.
Didier Pitcho didn't do things by halves. To celebrate his club's surprise fifth place at mid-season and the success acquired just before against Nevers 35 to 10, the president of Soyaux-Angoulême announced, at a press conference, the extension of nine players. The first name released by the Charente leader, that of Ben Botica, was not the subject of any questioning. The main person concerned had already revealed it on the sidelines of the Midol Oscars, last November. The best player in the Top 14 in 2018 has extended his lease for one more year. The New Zealand flyhalf is accompanied by his partner at the hinge: Adrien Bau. Among the executives, this wave of extension is completed by the center George Tilsley and the hooker Patxi Bidart. Carried away by his joy, the strong man from Angoulême did not specify the duration of his new contracts.
Soyaux trusts his youth
Didier Pitcho also took advantage of the evening to secure his young guard. With at the top of the list the Morand-Bruyat twins. Enzo and Léo, who form a second fusion linehave made the decision to continue the adventure with their training club. They are imitated by the pillars Seydou Diakité, author of an impressive scrum push against Biarritz, and Georgi Balakarev. And finally, these nine extensions are completed by the new kid from SA Charente XV, Kalende Tumba. The 18-year-old winger made his professional debut two weeks ago during the big defeat against Oyonnax.
