His contract was due to expire at the end of the season. The matter is now settled. On Wednesday, Romain Taofifenua (35) extended at Racing 92 until 2028. Perhaps the last challenge of his great career.

“Through his power and his experience at the very highest level, Romain will continue to be a major asset in the Paris-region squad, where he regularly wears the captain’s armband“, the Paris-region club wrote in their statement.

Having arrived from Lyon, Taofifenua settled in straight away, bringing leadership and power. Good news for Racing 92, who at the same time have loaned young Englishman Junior Kpoku to Toulon.
