Toulouse Olympique coach Sylvain Houlès has appointed half Johnathon Ford as squad captain for the 2021 season. At 31 years old and with his ten seasons in the Toulouse jersey, “Johno” recovers the role of captain left behind. vacant after the departure of Constantine Mika in the offseason.
A choice that will not surprise the supporters of the TO because Jonathon Ford, conductor of the Toulouse training, played 175 meetings with the TO for 49 registered tests. Exemplary on and off the field, he has naturally been one of the group’s leaders for many years. He has also worn the TO captain’s armband in the past.
Used to dictating the tempo of the team on the lawn, the half from the Cook Islands will therefore have another mission this season: that of leading an entire club towards its ultimate goal, the Super League.
