This Thursday, Stade Niçois officially announces the arrival of Sakiusa Bureitakiyaca (29 years old) from Dijon (Nationale). The Fijian winger joins the team until the end of the season.
Sakiusa Bureitakiyaca comes from Stade Dijonnais with whom he has already scored four tries since the beginning of the championship. The Fijian is joining his fourth French club after Dax (2014-2018), Soyaux-Angoulême (2018-2020), and Dijon (2020-2021).
At 29 years old, the winger or fullback already has a solid experience with 112 matches played in ProD2 with Dax and Soyaux-Angoulême and 30 tries scored. Sakiusa’s arrival follows the injuries of Pacôme Gougeon and Mathieu Bonnet-Gonnet who will be off the field for several weeks. The winger joins the Nice team in the final stretch of the Nationale championship.
“I am happy to be here in a well-structured club with an appealing project. Since the beginning of the season, this has been a solid team that produces a lot of play, and it’s great for me to be able to play here. We have certain goals, so I will give everything I have to help the club achieve them.” explains the new Nice player of Stade Niçois.
The coach’s words: “Sakiusa joins us to cover the injuries of Mathieu Bonnet-Gonnet and Pacôme Gougeon. He has somewhat the same profile as Mathieu, tall, fast, and especially very tough on the man, very solid. He has a lot of power, which will help us to create breaches in the opponents’ defenses on the outside.” (David Bolgashvili).
“We have been following him for several months. We even know him from his experience in ProD2 with Dax or even Soyaux-Angoulême. He is swift, very athletic but above all he understands the game. He can bring us a lot on the wing with his power and speed.” (Martin Jagr).
