According to L’Indpendent in France, Jaminet will have to be bought out of or pay to be released from his contract.

Freddie Steward | RugbyPass Offload | Episode 26

We wrap up the Guinness Six Nations with England fullback Freddie Steward joining the show this week. We get their view on Italy’s historic win against Wales, Scotland’s disappointing performance in Dublin and France’s Grand Slam winning performance in Paris. Freddie tells us about his pre-match rituals, his England bestie, life in student digs, Pennyhill Park and which opposition player impressed him the most in the Six Nations.

His new destination has not been confirmed but Toulouse are firm favorites to pick up the 22-year-old’s signature.

It had been reported at the start of the season that Stade Toulsain was the likely destination, but the claims in the French press were denied by Perpignan President François Rivière at the time.

Now Toulouse – in the form of President Didier Lacroix – have openly admitted that they are interested in signing the fullback, who has earned 11 caps for Fabien Galthie’s France to date.

Perennial Top 14 strugglers Perpignan are just one spot up from the bottom of the league, and Jaminet will be eager to kick on in a career that already looks destined for the stars.

Jaminet was an integral part of France’s 2022 Six Nations campaign and has taken the opportunity afforded to him in the injury absence of Brice Dulin.
