Victor Hannoun

Victor Hannoun is a product of the French academy system who has developed into a reliable performer for Aviron Bayonnais in the Top 14. Born on 20 August 2003, the young Frenchman is a powerful, direct-running back typically deployed in the centres or on the wing, where his physicality lends itself to hard carrying and gain-line impact. Defensively he contributes strong organisation and workrate, making him a dependable presence across the back line. Having come through the club's pathway, Hannoun has been part of Bayonne's establishment and consolidation in the French top flight, gaining valuable experience in one of Europe's most competitive leagues. Still early in his senior career, he profiles as a robust, team-first back whose direct style suits the demands of Top 14 rugby, with room to grow into a more prominent role as he matures.
