Le pilier qui évolue désormais sous les couleurs des Samoa, va retrouver le championnat anglais la saison prochaine. Il rejoindra le club des Harlequins.
This is a new start for the MHR for next season. The Samoan pillar (1 selection) after being selected for the USA team, Titi Lamositele will leave the club to return to the English championship which he left in 2020 to join Montpellier.
Lamositele (29 years old), right or left pillar, had in fact left Saracens to join Hérault at the start of the 2020-2021 season. Winner of the Challenge in 2021, then of the Top 14 in 2022, he has played 93 matches so far in the MHR jersey.

"Looking forward to returning to the premiership"
The London club Harlequins formalized its arrival next season, this Tuesday, May 15." I've known Titi since I coached with USA Rugby and have closely followed his progress throughout his career, explains Billy Millard, the English club's director of rugby. He is a highly experienced and dynamic player, who has achieved great success at club and international level and brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our front line. He’s a hard-working, tough running back who adds a lot of power to our scrum and will be ready to make a good impact next season."
"I'm delighted to be joining the Quins. I have been impressed with the rugby they have played this season and I am looking forward to returning to the Premiership and meeting up with my new teammates. I enjoyed my stay in France but I am excited about this new chapter", explains the player on the Harlequins website. He was under contract with the MHR until 2025.
