The adventure continues for Baptiste Serin (31 years old) at the RCT. The Toulon club announced this Thursday that its experienced scrum half who arrived in Var in 2019 had extended his contract by two years. The former UBB player is now linked to Toulon until 2028.
What a week Baptiste Serin (31 years old) has had! A few hours after the international scrum-half, who is not expected to start on Saturday in Bordeaux against Fiji, was recalled by Fabien Galthié to the Blues for the rest of the autumn tour of the XV of France following the injury of Nolann Le Garrec, who had started in hinge alongside Romain Ntamack against South Africa last Saturday during the first of the three tests on the program for the French, Toulon announced another good news concerning its experienced number 9.
Via a video broadcast on social networks and entitled “Baptiste Serin has a message for you”, the former Union Bordeaux-Bègles player who arrived in Toulon in 2019 when he had only known the Gironde colors since his professional debut, seven years earlier, himself reveals that he has signed a new two-year contract, which now binds him to the Rouge et Noir until June 2028. And to wait for Serin, winner of the Challenge Cup in 2023 with the RCT and who has 135 matches in the colors of Toulon to date, he did not really hesitate when deciding to continue his career in the Var.
Serin: “It’s time to write a new page”
“Today, a career choice presents itself to me. It’s time to write a new page. I want to write this page with you. I want to continue fighting for the team. For you supporters, for my family, for Toulon,” confides Serin, without hiding that he did not necessarily expect to experience such a love story when he joined the RCT.
“When I arrived here, I didn’t really know what to expect. But I understood very quickly. I understood what it meant to wear this jersey, to play for this city, for its supporters. My family was built here, I have experienced ups, downs, moments that I will never forget. » He should experience even new ones, during these two new seasons which await him in the Var.
Pierre Mignoni, his trainer, is convinced of this. “Baptiste is a player steeped in talent (…) His loyalty and commitment reflect the values we defend. »
