Kpoku graduated to the U20 system alongside fellow lock Olamide Sodeke and formed a
solid partnership that aided in England's double-winning 2024. Kpoku has since made over
20 appearances for Racing 92 across the Top 14, Champions Cup and Challenge Cup.
He started at Saracens Amateurs before being integrated into the professional club
pathway, where he played at U16 and U18 level for the North Londoners.
FUN FACTS: Rugby is in the Kpoku DNA, with Junior's two older brothers (Jonathan and Joel)
both playing professional rugby for CS Bourgoin-Jallieu and Section Paloise, respectively
