To compensate for the loss of Clément Gelin until the end of the season, the FCG recruited Franck Pourteau, from Racing 92, as a medical joker.

Franck Pourteau (21) started rugby in the Basque Country, at ES Arudyenne, before joining Stade Toulousain's Academy at the age of 15. He left the "Rouge & Noir" in 2016, to join the Racing 92. With the Ile-de-France Club, he won the French Championship Elite 2 Espoirs in 2017, with Loïc Godener and Pierre Maïau. Last season, he also had two Top 14 starts and a few minutes in Champions Cup with the "Ciel & Blanc".

"By joining Grenoble, I hope to get professional playing time. I want to take this opportunity to bring what I can to the team and why not try to go higher with this Club, "he told FCGRUGBY.com.

Trained as fly-half, Franck Pourteau can also play as full-back, or even in the center. He is also the kicker of the Racing Espoirs.
