According to Rugbyrama and L’Equipe, English fly-half Joe Simmonds (26) will leave Exeter and join Pau next season.
Pau prospecting on the transfer market. According to information from Rugby Rama and of The teamthe rugby club, which currently occupies twelfth place in the French championship standings after a total of fifteen Top 14 matches have already been played, should strengthen for next season. Indeed, the arrival of the English opener Joe Simmonds is announced. If this coming is confirmed, then it would be a very nice move from the Paloise Section. The player would have already given his agreement to join the Béarnaise formation. Currently, Simmons plays under the colors of the Exeter club, his training club and with which he began his professional career in 2016.
Simmonds never knew the XV de la Rose
On his list, there are thus in particular no less than two titles of champion of England, one in 2017 then the other in 2020. Without forgetting also a title also acquired in 2020, but this time in the European Cup. Now 26, the Englishman has never known the joys of a call-up to the England national team, with the XV de la Rose. And if Pau is interested in him, it is because of the departure of Zack Henry. Joe Simmonds, reputed to be a complete person insofar as he also stumbles, will be able to compensate for it. For his part, Henry will take over the management of the Stade Français club.
