Highly-rated centre commits to Toulouse

Promising centre Mathieu Jussaume has signed a new deal with Toulouse for the 2021 season.

The 21-year-old made his professional debut last season and had an instant impact, going on to score 11 tries in 24 further appearances and demand a spot in Sylvain Houles’ side.

Jussuame is the latest player to sign a new deal, joining the likes of Mark Kheirallah, Junior Vaivai and Johnathon Ford in committing to the club.

“It’s a great pleasure to continue next season with Toulouse Olympique,” he said. “We are more motivated than ever to achieve our Super League goal.“

Toulouse president Bernard Sarrazainadded: “Training young players to go together towards the Super League, as we are doing with Mathieu, is an integral part of the club’s project.

“He worked hard and knew how to seize his chance when it presented itself. His re-signing is logically part of the continuity.”
