After its resounding victory against Stade Français (38-23) during the 13th day of the Top 14, the Toulouse Stadium struck a major blow by announcing the extension of ten key players. A decision that solidifies the foundations of the club for years to come.
Capuozzo, Willis, Jelonch: pillars until 2029
Among the extensions, Ange Capuozzo et Jack Willis stand out with contracts of up to 2029. The Italian full-back and the English third line, two international talents, confirm their place at the heart of the Toulouse project. This long-term signing demonstrates the mutual trust between the players and the club.
Anthony Jelonch, Emmanuel New et Clément Vergé have, for their part, extended until 2027. These three players, real driving forces of the red and black pack, are major assets to continue to shine on the national and European scene.
Confirmed talents and gems for 2028
Toulouse does not only rely on its executives. Alexandre Roumat, Santiago Chocobars, Blair Kinghorn and the scrum half Paul Graou have also extended until 2028. These players, who bring a balance between experience and youth, show that Stade Toulousain is seriously preparing for the future.
Also note the signatures of Kalvin Gourgues (19 years old) and promising young players like Clément Vergé. Proof that the club also knows how to trust its next generation.
And soon, other extensions?
On the microphone, the coach Ugo Line hinted that other announcements will follow. The supporters obviously hope to hear about Romain Ntamack et Antoine Dupontemblematic figures of Toulouse and world rugby.
With this series of extensions, the Toulouse Stadium is part of a logic of stability and ambition. Enough to reassure its supporters and send a clear message to the competition: Toulouse is there to stay at the top.
I grew up in a family where rugby was at all times. I was at the edge of the pitch when Castres beat Pau and joined the elite, I was in the Stade Pierre Antoine facing Gary Whetton when he did his Haka to celebrate the 1993 Brennus and I was always rocked legends of this sport. Now, it is with XV Ovalie that I intend to extend the adventure. #TeamCO
