"North of the border" – The move from Ospreys
North swapped Swansea for sunny Provence ahead of the 2024/25 season, joining the French second-tier side to continue his illustrious career.
Injury heartbreak
However, just as fans were gearing up for his first appearance, disaster struck. During his final Six Nations Test for Wales – a heartbreaking defeat to Italy in Cardiff – North suffered a ruptured Achilles, delaying his debut.
The comeback begins
Now, after months of rehab, the powerhouse winger has been named on the bench for Provence's clash against Agen this Friday, January 10th.
Social media buzz
North took to Instagram, sharing his excitement with fans: "Looking forward to getting out there! Been a long time."
Provence fans won't have to wait much longer to see their marquee signing in action – and all eyes will be on Agen as North embarks on his next chapter.
