Boudebza returns to Lezignan

Correspondent

French club FC Lezignan have confirmed that hooker John Boudebza has returned to play for them.

The French international left the club in 2014 to join Hull KR.

He enjoyed a successful 2015 with the club, playing at Wembley in the Challenge Cuo final and becoming something of a cult hero to the Robins fans.

Last season he struggled with injury, however, and was not given a new deal by the Robins following their relegation to the Championship.

He played 27 games in total for Rovers, and the 26-year-old will now return to the French Elite League to play for the Sangliers.
