Clermont Auvergne Extends Contract of Vice-Captain Killian Tixeront

In a significant move for ASM Clermont, third-row player Killian Tixeront has agreed to extend his contract for the next two seasons, with an additional option, according to club manager Christophe Urios. The Auvergne club announced this signing on Thursday.

Tixeront, a 23-year-old with three selections, has proven himself as a valuable asset to the team, both on and off the pitch. Urios describes Tixeront as the modern third-row profile, elegant on the pitch and mobile, ensuring the link with the backs and in the lineout. His ability to perform multiple tasks and excel as a transition player has earned him comparisons to the Bonnaire brothers and Lapandry.

Last season, Tixeront played 29 games for ASM Clermont, showcasing his physical capabilities, which include endurance and speed, similar to those of a back. His leadership skills have also been evident, as he was appointed vice-captain and leader of the pack at the start of the season. Tixeront has proven himself as a leader with the youngsters, national selections, and the Clermont group.

Léon Darricarrère and Baptiste Jauneau have already extended their contracts with Clermont, and the club's determination to push the Yellow and Blue forward is clear in this latest signing. The club has expressed a desire to build around a promising generation, and Tixeront, referred to as "Clermont's own child" by Urios, is a key part of this strategy.

The announcement was made in a statement that emphasized the club's commitment to its players and its ambition for the future. With Tixeront's extended contract, ASM Clermont continues to strengthen its squad and looks forward to a successful season ahead.
