Stephane Ahmed

A physical midfielder shaped by France's demanding Pro D2, Stephane Ahmed is a centre for US Montauban. Born on 4 February 1999, he is known for his strong defensive presence and his direct, gain-line-breaking carries in attack. Ahmed plays a key role in organising the midfield defence, reading the game and putting in the heavy hits that disrupt opposition attacks, while in possession he offers a reliable, hard-running option that helps his side build momentum. A consistent performer for the club, he brings the kind of physicality and commitment that are prized in the attritional environment of France's competitive second division. His work in the centres provides both a defensive anchor and an attacking outlet, allowing Montauban to play with structure and front-foot ball. Dependable and combative, Ahmed continues to be a valued figure in the Montauban backline as the club pursues its ambitions in the Pro D2, embodying the resilience and directness required to succeed in one of European rugby's toughest leagues.
