FORMER ULSTER OUT-HALF and Ireland international Paddy Jackson has signed a two-year deal with Perpignan, meaning he’ll be playing in the Top 14 next season.

The newly-promoted French club confirmed the news this morning.

Christian Lanta, Sporting Director of the French side, said of the move:

“Paddy Jackson, in the tradition of Irish 10s, knows how to bring his individual qualities to benefit the collective; a proven kicker, a talented playmaker, Paddy can bring his international experience to the team.”

Perpignan have confirmed the signing of Paddy Jackson on a two-year contract.

Twenty-six-year-old Jackson’s contract with the IRFU and Ulster Rugby was revoked in April following a review into his behaviour in the wake of his acquittal on rape charges.

The news comes after Stuart Olding signed a two-year contract with French club Brive late last month.
