Goosen to join Montpellier next season

Former Racing 92 and Springbok international Johan Goosen will come out of retirement to join Top 14 leaders Montpellier on a three-year deal from the 2018-19 season.

Mohamed Altrad, owner of Montpellier, has come to an agreement with Racing 92's Jacky Lorenzetti to buy the Burgersdorp native out of his contract for a fee believed to be around €1.4 million.

Goosen walked out on his Racing contract in January last year to take up a role as a commercial director with a stud-farm based in Bloemfontein.

The talented flyhalf/fullback has 13 Springbok caps to his name since making his debut against Australia back in 2012.
