Fijian winger Vinaya Habosi has committed his future to Top 14 club Racing 92 by extending his contract until 2029. The 24-year-old has become an integral part of the team, known for his blistering pace and explosive runs on the field.
Since joining Racing 92 from the Fijian Drua in 2022, Habosi has made a significant impact, earning 50 caps and scoring 14 tries for the prominent Ciel et Blanc jersey since his debut in 2023. His versatility has allowed him to play effectively on both the wing and at outside center, underscoring his growing importance to the squad.
The club announced that the contract extension reflects their ambition to “build an ambitious and sustainable project around international talent,” with Habosi at the heart of this vision. This long-term commitment not only secures Habosi’s presence but also highlights the legacy of Fijian players within Racing 92, following in the footsteps of greats like Inia Tabuavou, Sireli Bobo, and Ben Volavola.
Habosi’s journey showcases resilience, particularly after his recent return to form following a domestic violence investigation. His ability to bounce back and contribute crucial performances has been vital for the team’s morale and success, especially after a challenging start to the season.
The future looks promising for both Habosi and Racing 92, as they aim to build on this momentum and strive for success in the league and European competitions. The commitment to foster a strong team, along with Habosi’s talents, signals a hopeful trajectory for the club moving forward.
