Fernández Lobbe Signs One Year Extension with Toulon

Retired Puma Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe has signed a one year extension with Toulon. The 34 year old will remain at the Mediterranean club until June 2017 which will see him completing eight years wearing the colors of Toulon since his arrival in France from England.

Fernández Lobbe arrived in Toulon in 2009 from Aviva Premiership club the Sale Sharks. He did so despite being the Sale captain. His move proved to have been a roaring success with Fernández Lobbe having won three European titles and the Top 14 title.

Capped 71 times by Argentina, Fernández Lobbe played his last test for Los Pumas in 2015. During his test career he was a two-time Rugby World Cup Semi Finalist and captained the team to wins over nations including England, Italy, Scotland and Wales.
