It has been a long time since the smiles have been so bright in the ranks of the Provence Aix Université Club! The victory won last week against Chambéry (30-27) undoubtedly unlocked the Arena syndrome. Because it ended a series of four defeats in a row in the Aix cauldron.
And at the time of receiving the revelation of the Starligue for two years, Limoges, the men of Eric Forets have the possibility of making a jump in the ranking in the event of a repeat. And to achieve this, the PAUC will benefit from reinforcement for the occasion. In need of pivots since the injuries to Hugo Brouzet and Andréa Parisini, the arrival of Paul-Louis Guiraudou (Cherbourg, Proligue) will relieve the only point still standing, Momo Sidibé.
Initially, Paul-Louis Guiraudou (24 years old, 1.94m, 105 kg) was due to arrive in Provence next season. But the Provençal leaders, in agreement with the player, brought forward this arrival. Best purple player since his arrival in Cotentin in the summer of 2023, the native of Clermont-l'Hérault participated in 11 matches this season, scoring 39 goals (3.55 goals per match) and could not miss this opportunity : “It's a new adventure. It was a bit like a dream for me to get to this level, so it's true that there are a lot of changes, but I can't wait to discover it all.”
Paul-Louis Giraudou will not be in unknown territory since the latest recruit has already played under the orders of Philippe Gardent (Bordeaux) and Edu Fernandez (Cherbourg). Two former PAUC pivots and coaches.
