Xan Mousques

Xan Mousques is a French back born on 18 November 2005 and registered with Top 14 side Union Bordeaux Bègles. He came through the UBB development pathway and was elevated into the senior squad's professional environment as one of the club's emerging back-division prospects. Bordeaux competes annually in the Top 14 and the EPCR Champions Cup, with its first XV built around an attack-minded backline known for offloading skill and ball-in-hand width. At 20 years old, Mousques sits within the academy-to-senior transition window, where progression for young French backs typically runs through Espoirs fixtures, ProD2 loan partnerships and selective senior matchday inclusion. His near-term career path will be shaped by training-squad integration, the form and availability of senior players ahead of him in the depth chart, and the competitive demands of UBB's domestic and European campaigns. He represents part of the next wave of locally produced backs the club is developing to extend its competitive cycle.
