Anami Muteshi, who has been in France for nearly two years, will now compete in the fifth tier of French rugby. His move follows a standout season with the Kenya Simbas, where he first made his mark in the Currie Cup before donning the number eight jersey in the Rugby Africa Cup and Repechage. The Simbas achieved second and fourth places in these tournaments, respectively.
The St Peter’s Alumni is now poised to contribute to MLSGP’s push for promotion from Fédérale 2 to Fédérale 1, the fifth tier of French rugby.
