Personal Overview

Hello, 

I'm a young french scrum-half, name Simon BENOIST. I'm 23 yo and I'm looking for opportunities out of France in professionnal clubs.

I played during 4 years in Valence Romans Drôme Rugby, a Pro D2 club (I was 15 to 19 yo, in U18 and U21). After that, I signed in Aubenas (2021-2022), in National 1 (3rd division in France) and I played 20 games out of 26. I was the youngest player of the division.

Thanks to this season, Pierre-Henry Broncan (former Toulouse and Bath coach) called me to sign a 2 years deal with Castres Olympique (TOP 14). I played only 1 game with the professionnal team (TOP 14) and I trained during 1 season with them. Since 1 year, I went in loan in a National 2 club (with a famous Castres Olympique coach) to take more experiences with adults.

I'm now looking for a professionnal club out of France (It's very complicated now to have opportunities in pro clubs in France).
