From the XV of the Rose to the Rose Soldiers.
English center Joe Marchant (26), who currently plays for Harlequins in London and has 13 caps with England, will join Stade Français next season.
The Parisian club announced its recruitment on Monday.
If Marchant is selected for the World Cup in France (September 8-October 28, 2023), he will join Stade Français just after the competition.
Incisive and quick, Joe Marchant is a high-level recruit for the Parisian club, currently 3rd in the Top 14 ranking. On paper, he is even undoubtedly the best player to sign for the Stade Français, who will be trained after the world by the duo of coaches of the XV of France, Laurent Labit and Karim Ghezal.

With this recruitment, the 2023-2024 workforce of Stade Français is taking shape.
The club announced this week the extensions of its captain Paul Gabrillagues and his friend in the second line, the overpowered South African Juan-John Van der Mescht.
Stade Français has also recently recruited South African pillar Vincent Koch, world champion in 2019, as a medical joker for the moment.
