🏉 Exciting news for Welsh rugby fans! Owen Erasmus, the 20-year-old fly-half from Cardiff, has made a dream move to European champions Bordeaux-Begles! 🌟
Owen’s journey has been nothing short of thrilling. After joining South African team Stormers mid-season from the Ospreys’ academy, he spent time honing his skills alongside Springbok stars. Now, he’s off to France to team up with the two-time Champions Cup winners.
It’s not just about the game for Owen; it’s also a lovely family connection. His 94-year-old grandfather once taught in France and is now helping him brush up on the language for his big move next month. 🇫🇷
Despite interest from English clubs, this young talent couldn’t pass up the chance to join Europe’s finest. Bordeaux is just another highlight in Owen’s budding career, having previously been a part of Bath’s age-grade system and linked with Saracens.
In a recent interview, Owen expressed his aspirations: “One day, I’d love to play international rugby. It’s just seeing where my hard work gets me.”
Here’s wishing Owen all the best as he embarks on this new chapter. We can’t wait to see what he achieves next! 🏆👏
