Racing 92 enlists Stade Toulousain center Paul Costes
The Ile-de-France club formalizes the arrival of an experienced Top 14 executive for the coming season.
Racing 92 formalizes the arrival of Paul Costes, center of Stade Toulousain and semi-finalist of the last Top 14, for the coming season. The Ile-de-France club is banking on the raw experience of Costes to boost an offensive sector lacking benchmarks. Paul Costes, 28, leaves the Toulouse cocoon after several seasons at the top.
Author of solid performances in the final phase, he does not come to make up the numbers but to occupy the field. His tough and impactful center profile responds to an observable deficiency among the Racingmen, who are often too feverish in decision-making areas. On a tactical level, Costes' contribution goes beyond the simple statistics of tackles or meters covered.
