Back in Lyon from Marcoussis on Thursday, Antoine Deliance signed an extension that comes with a “significant” pay rise, Le Progrès reports.
Six starts from six games
At 21, Deliance has started all six Top 14 games he has played this season, scoring one try. Last season he also played six, starting five. A product of the Ain region who came through the Lyon academy, he was recently named club captain.
An Under-20 Six Nations winner in 2025, he was called up by Fabien Galthié on Monday to prepare for France v Fiji after Anthony Jelonch was ruled out. He is still uncapped.
Midi Olympique, quoted by Blog RCT, had reported a four-year extension. Le Progrès, which announced the signing, says three more seasons, until 2031.
