After making his debut at Auch in 2015, Grégory Alldritt took charge of La Rochelle in 2017. Since then, the third row and captain of the XV of France in the absence of Antoine Dupont has never left Stade Rochelais and he is open to the idea of finishing his career in the Maritimes, even if he keeps in mind the plan to try his hand abroad.
A 27 ans, Grégory Damn it still has a future ahead of him. And this future will continue to be written with Stade Rochelaisa club he joined in 2017 and with which he recently extended until 2029. A long-term contract which will probably never see him change clubs until the end of his career except for a foreign club.
It’s confirmed, he will soon join the XV of France! https://t.co/8wHdrwrINz pic.twitter.com/qoHjfdfEV1

“Everything came together for me to stay”
« It’s definitely a big decision. In any case, it seemed obvious to me. I have everything I need here to perform: a club which aims to constantly evolve, progress and which always wants to win; an audience with incredible fervor, which is the basis of rugby in my opinion and I wouldn’t be able to play if it wasn’t there; and, what’s more, there is a living environment that suits me. Everything came together for me to stay. So why change when you’re comfortable somewhere? I didn’t have this desire to go elsewhere just to move, to see something else “, said Grégory Damn it in an interview given to Midi-Olympic. But the prospect of going abroad appealed to him.
“I always have in the back of my mind the idea of doing a season abroad”
« I wouldn’t mind being a one-club player. Afterwards, from there to saying that I will be the player of only one club, I don’t know anything. A lot can happen in four to five years. We’ll see when the time comes. I always have in the back of my mind the idea of doing a season abroad. Will I do it? I don’t know. I’m not stuck on anything, I’m enjoying the present moment and I’ll see how I feel about my rugby and my desires in a few years. I know that I owe a lot to Stade Rochelais and the different staffs who have succeeded one another. I feel great gratitude. I have great confidence in this club and I think it is mutual. That’s what makes it work », then added the captain of the XV of France. La Rochelle supporters have been warned.
