According to our information, the versatile Stade Toulousain winger Setareki Bituniyata, who has already ended his season following a serious right knee injury, will head to Provence Rugby during the next exercise.
Victim of a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right kneeon December 22 during Toulouse’s draw at Lyon (17-17), Setareki Bituniyata will have played his last match with the Rouge et Noir. Arriving as a World Cup joker last season, the Fijian, who showed his best day in the Toulouse collective (20 matches, 4 tries), will give new impetus to his career.
At the end of his contract, the former Massy and Brive player has signed up, according to our indiscretions, for the next two seasons with Provence Rugbycurrent 4th in the Pro D2 championship. He will digitally replace Eto Bainivalu, currently on loan from Toulouse.
A JIFF status that pleased Aix-en-Provence
Born in the Fiji Islands, Bituniyata, who will be 30 next August, convinced the Provençal leaders with his versatility. He is indeed capable of playing on the wing and in the center of the field. With his size, and his skills with the ball in hand, he fits perfectly into the style of play of Provence Rugby, which plays, as we recall, on a synthetic turf. The latter facilitates the movement game.
In addition, the person concerned, who will return to the competition at the start of the next financial year, has JIFF status. Added value for Provence Rugby, which is seeking to strengthen itself in other sectors and particularly in the second line.
