Colombia’s Andrés Zafra has signed a new two-year deal with Agen. The second-rower joined the French Top 14 side in June 2018 from rivals Lyon. Thus far the 23-year-old has made 16 appearances, including 13 starts and has scored three tries.
Zafra is the first Colombian to have played in France. He was first spotted as a teenager playing in his home country. Among those to have seen him play was former French international Cédric Desbrosse.
The result was a move to France at the age of 19. He initially trained with Givors in France’s 5th division, the Fédérale 3 in January 2016. His talent was quickly noted and he moved to play for neighboring club Lyon, a Top 14 side.
Zafra is from Los Carboneros club in Cúcuta. He weighs 115kg and stands at 1.97 meters tall.
