ASM Clermont implements targeted recruitment for 2026 season

ASM Clermont is undergoing a significant squad restructuring for the 2026-2027 season. The club has implemented a targeted recruitment strategy focused on addressing specific positional needs rather than pursuing high-profile names.

Seven new players are set to join the squad to bolster the pack, half-back, and backline. Key arrivals include Darcy Swain, AJ Lam, Etene Nanai-Seturo, Baptiste Germain, Justin Bouraux, Peniami Narisia, and Kévin Noah. These signings aim to provide depth and variety to the gameplay.

The recruitment follows the departures of several experienced leaders and international players, including Rob Simmons, George Moala, Irae Simone, Sébastien Bézy, Alex Newsome, Lucas Tauzin, and Seilala Lam. The club's strategy appears to favor a younger, more mobile roster to maintain competitiveness.
