In a significant move, 27-year-old Jack Willis is set to grace the field for Toulouse once again in the upcoming 2024/25 season.
Let’s revisit the key details. Last spring saw Willis committing to a three-season extension, with the final two seasons left as optional for the flanker.
This commitment was tied to the fiscal year 2023-2024. The seasons in question were 2024-2025 and 2025-26, both being optional.
Notably, Willis had the flexibility to cancel the option for the next season until December 31, 2023. However, the Englishman chose not to exercise this option.
Consequently, the former Wasps player is now bound to Stade Toulousain until June 2025. Looking ahead to the 2025-2026 season, Willis will once again have until December 31, 2024, to confirm or decline his participation.
This development brings excellent news for Toulouse, securing the services of the English player for key fixtures during the Six Nations due to his ineligibility by playing in France.
