Biography
Leo Ametlla is a young French flanker making his way in the demanding environment of RC Toulon, one of the Top 14's most ambitious clubs. Born on 12 April 2004, the back-rower brings energy and physical commitment to a star-studded Toulon squad on France's Mediterranean coast. Ametlla's game centres on the core duties of the loose forward: a high defensive work rate, persistence at the breakdown, and a willingness to carry hard into contact. At 22 he is at a formative stage, looking to translate promise into regular senior minutes amid stiff competition for back-row places at Toulon. His strengths lie in the unglamorous areas that win matches, tackling, ruck contest, and tireless support play, and his development will hinge on adding consistency and game-management to that combative base. Competing for selection in a squad packed with international forwards is a stern test, but it offers the kind of daily standard that accelerates a young player's growth. As he matures physically and tactically, Ametlla will aim to carve out a defined role in the Toulon pack and build a foothold in one of European rugby's most competitive leagues.
