President Tony Parker, who had already recorded the return of Belgian leader Julie Allemand (Montpellier) for this offseason, is delighted with this major reinforcement in the workforce.
“We are very proud that Alexia is joining us in Lyon, and of the confidence she places in our project,” indicates “TP”. It is always one of our objectives to bring the best French women to our team and Alexia is a real spearhead of her generation. His MVP title is widely deserved to reward his technical versatility and his impeccable state of mind. “
