Samoa captain Michael Ala'alatoa set to join French Top14 side Clermont - reports

Leinster right prop and Samoa captain Michael Ala'alatola is reported to move to Clermont where he will arrive next summer.

L’Équipe recently reported that Clermont had concretely positioned itself to recruit Michael Ala'alatoa. And according to reports, the solid right pillar (1.89 m, 128 kg) finally said yes to ASM. 

The man who was the captain of the Samoan selection during the last World Cup has agreed to a contract covering the next two seasons.

The 32-year-old player of Australian origin has been playing for the Irish province of Leinster since 2021, with whom he played - and lost - the last two Champions Cup finals against La Rochelle.
