Welcoming him to the team, Sporting Director of the French side, Christian Lanta, said: “Paddy Jackson, in the tradition of the 10 Irish, knows how to put his individual qualities at the service of the collective; confirmed goal scorer, talented lineman, Paddy has to bring to the team his experience of the international level.”
