Clement Malinowski

Clement Malinowski is a young back-row forward progressing through Union Bordeaux Begles' development pathway. Born on 8 April 2007, the teenager is part of the academy setup at one of the Top 14's most high-profile clubs, where UBB have built a reputation for blooding talented youngsters into their senior environment. As a back-rower he is expected to bring the core currencies of the position — tackle counts, work at the breakdown and willing ball-carrying in tight channels. Like most players at this stage of their career, his development focus is on adapting to the physical demands of senior rugby and earning exposure with Bordeaux's Espoirs and wider squad before pressing for professional opportunities. With UBB regularly competing near the top of the French domestic game and in European competition, Malinowski benefits from training alongside experienced internationals in Bordeaux's forward pack. His pathway reflects the club's emphasis on local, academy-produced talent and offers him a runway to build towards the senior game.
