Ex-Wales wing North set for Provence debut

Former Wales and British and Irish Lions star George North is set for his club rugby debut in France.

The 32-year-old joined French second-tier side Provence for the start of 2024-25.

But after committing to the move from Ospreys, North suffered a ruptured Achilles in his final Wales Test, a 2024 Six Nations defeat by Italy in Cardiff.

He has been named on the bench for Provence in the Pro D2 at Agen on Friday, 10 January.

North posted on social media: "Looking forward to getting out there! Been a long time."
