Nohem Ez Zahouany

Nohem Ez Zahouany is a flanker on the books at ASM Clermont Auvergne, one of France's most storied Top 14 clubs. Born on 16 February 2007, he is among the younger players working through Clermont's developmental structure as he pursues a professional career in the back row. Flankers in the modern French game are expected to combine physicality in contact with mobility and technical awareness at the breakdown, roles that demand consistent work across both halves of a match. Ez Zahouany's pathway places him within a club known for its passionate Marcel Michelin home support and a long tradition of producing hard-edged forwards. His continued progression will be measured by the development of his defensive reads, carrying aggression, and the ability to compete for turnover ball against seasoned Top 14 opposition. At this stage of his career he represents part of Clermont's planning in the loose forward department, where competition for places is consistently fierce. With the physical and tactical demands of French club rugby, his breakthrough will hinge on sustained performances in the academy environment and the opportunities that arise in the senior setup.
