The Hauts-de-Seine club formalized this Tuesday the arrival of the 2nd or 3rd line of Bordeaux-Bègles and the France team, for a period of four seasons.

“
The 3rd line joins the Ciel et Blanc workforce from July 5, 2022 as an additional player, explains Racing in a press release.
The club welcomes the arrival of this international player from the Ile-de-France region who will continue to highlight the fertile ground of the Paris Basin.

However, there was still a year of contract between Cameron Woki and the Girondin club.
But tensions had appeared with Christophe Urios, the Bordeaux-Bèglais coach, and this from the end of the last Grand Slam of the Blues.
They were fully revealed during the defeat (22-15) on the final day on the lawn of Perpignan, Christophe Urios having criticized his player for his lack of involvement.
Contacts between the very promising player of the France team and Racing 92 would have been established a few days after the elimination in the semi-finals of the Top 14 against Montpellier.
With the arrival of a player of this caliber, the club in western Paris had to release others.
Baptiste Pesenti, who arrived last year from the Section Paloise, left a few days ago to the side of the neighbor, the Stade Français.
Australian Luke Jones (38 games with Racing for two seasons) signed his contract termination letter a year before the end, shortly before the end of the transfer period.
He returns to his native country.
With Cameron Woki, Racing 92 also announced the arrival of two other players.
The Welsh Rugby League International Regan Grace (25), who plays winger, will be in the Paris region in October at the end of the rugby league season with his current English club St Helens.
The Fijian Wame Naituvi (26) arrived at the beginning of the month after having completed a last sports season in the colors of Stade Montois, recent finalist in the play-off for accession to the Top 14.
