The retirement did not last long for Lawrence Cardona. The one who has just bowed out after 14 years as a referee at the highest level will join Union Bordeaux-Bègles from next season. Like other former colleagues (Ruiz in Montpellier or Poite in Toulon), the Charentais will join the staff of Christophe Urios in the coming weeks.
He had already been coming regularly to help the UBB for several months. A collaboration validated by the Bordeaux manager: “I find that the contribution of Laurent Cardona has helped us. We are more like a very high level team. I find us stronger. “He will intervene especially on the big session of the week and will follow the team during all the matches, specifies South West.
