Veteran lock will team up with Chabal

Former France captain Lionel Nallet will join Lyon despite the club's relegation from the Top 14. The second row veteran has long been linked to a switch to Lyon once his contract with Racing Metro ends in the summer. And although Lyon have finished bottom of the Top 14 standings after a miserable campaign, the 35-year-old will still make the move - with the view of guiding them back up at the first attempt. Nallet has signed a two-year deal - and he will team up with close friend Sebastien Chabal. "I am very happy and proud to be joining Lyon, a team with great potential, and to be back playing again with my friend and team-mate from Racing Metro Sebastien Chabal," Nallet said.
