Bench player at Bordeaux, Latterrade extends at Provence

Provence Rugby announced on 10 November that hooker Romain Latterrade has extended his contract until 2029.

Two more seasons

Provence Rugby announced on 10 November a two-season extension for Romain Latterrade. The 30-year-old hooker, who joined from Union Bordeaux-Bègles in the summer of 2025, is now tied to the club until 2029.

A replacement at Bordeaux, a starter in Provence

At Bordeaux-Bègles, Latterrade played 37 matches over his last two seasons across the Top 14 and the Champions Cup, starting 11 of them. He averaged half an hour per match.

In Provence the ratio has flipped: 33 matches, 22 starts and 44 minutes on average. Last season he started all three Pro D2 play-off matches, up to the final lost to Vannes (18-14), then the access match lost to Perpignan (24-47).

Unbeaten leaders

Provence Rugby top the Pro D2 after ten rounds without a defeat: nine wins and a draw at Dax (16-16). Latterrade has played nine of those ten matches, six as a starter, and scored four tries. Three came off the bench, including a double against Béziers (54-3) on 23 October, in the 57th and 67th minutes.

The Pro D2 resumes with round 11 on 19 November.
