Racing 92: Gibert signs on until 2029

Gibert has spent his whole career at Racing, whom he joined as a youngster from AC Boulogne-Billancourt.

According to L’Equipe, Bayonne, whose director of rugby Laurent Travers coached him for years at Racing, had shown strong interest. The player chose to stay, as did back-rower Maxime Baudonne, who was also courted by Bayonne.

Ramos at 10 next season

The extension comes as Thomas Ramos prepares to join Racing after the 2027 World Cup, with a guarantee that he will play fly-half. Gibert, who can cover both half-back positions, has been here before with Owen Farrell in 2024, and before that with Finn Russell.

I’m very happy to share the dressing room with Thomas Ramos. His arrival is good news for Racing.

A strong start

Gibert has played all six of Racing’s Top 14 games this season, four as a starter, scoring three tries: a brace against Perpignan, then Racing’s try in Toulon on Saturday. He has made 169 Top 14 appearances for the club since 2016, scoring 483 points. His 2025-26 season was his most prolific, with 150 points in 22 games.

It’s the choice of continuity, yes, but with the idea of trying to win something with your boyhood club, because that would be even stronger.
