Young Australian Visesio Kite extends his contract with La Rochelle until 2030 season.
A huge prospect for the future, the young Visesio Kite, just a 17 years old boy, has signed a new development contract with La Rochelle until 2030 season. Securing the Australian lock, whose physical stature is already impressive and hardworking, was a major priority for the club.
He could be the Top 14 phenomenon in the near future. Australian Visesio Kite, is just 17 years old, has already signed a new development contract with Stade Rochelais until 2030 season. Arriving from the Reds in the summer of 2024, the lock already possesses an impressive physique despite in his young age (2.04 m, 147 kg) and seems destined to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious compatriot Will Skelton .
In the Crabos category, he played as a tighthead prop and caused so many serious damage. Last year, he moved to the second row with the Espoirs (U21 team), while continuing to deliver to the top-level performances. Kite trains regularly with the professional squad at Macif Parc, the club’s training center. He will only be able to play with the first team squad from November onwards, when he turns to 18.
For Stade Rochelais, retaining the young Australian talent was a major priority, especially since the manager Ronan O’Gara also recently extended his contract for the club, signing until 2031 season earlier this week. “This contract extension means a great deal to me and my family ,” said Kite. ” It’s a dream that come true. I can hardly express how grateful I am to the Ronan and the club for everything they’ve done for me since I arrived to the club.”
