Stade Francais captain Sergio Parisse has had his contract with the Top 14 club terminated by mutual consent. After 14 years in the French capital, Stade Francais have announced that the Italy star, who is the most capped player for his country, is leaving.
The former Treviso youngster joined the French side in 2005 and won two domestic titles and the Challenge Cup in 2017 while in Paris. The 35-year-old’s future is uncertain and he will hope to help Italy do well at the World Cup before weighing up whether to seek a move elsewhere or retire from rugby.
A short statement from Stade Francais read: “Stade Français Paris and Sergio Parisse have decided by mutual agreement to put an end to the contract that binds them. “Sergio Parisse wishes good luck and a lot of success at the Stade Français Paris.”
