All Blacks scrum-half Brad Weber part of nine new signings announced by Stade Francais

Stade Francais have announced nine new signings including All Blacks scrum-half Brad Weber ahead of the 2023/24 season.

The news follows after the 32-year-old confirmed last month that he will be leaving the Super Rugby club Chiefs to an European club but now Stade Francais have secured his services.

Weber started playing for Otago and Waikato before joining Chiefs in 2014 racking up over 100 appearances for them.

“17 caps in the jersey of the All Blacks, nine seasons with the province of Waikato. The conductor and experienced co-captain of the Chiefs will be in charge next season," read a tweet from the French club.

Apart from Weber, who will be in contention for the All Blacks' World Cup campaign later in the year, Stade Francais also revealed the other new signings that include Hugo N’Diaye (Rouen), Tanginoa Halaifonua (Grenoble), Andy Timo (Massy), Weber (Chiefs), Jules Gimbert (Bordeaux), Hugo Zabalza (Vannes), Zack Henry (Pau), Joe Marchant (Harlequins) and Pierre Boudenhent (La Rochelle).
