Greg Goosen

Newcastle Falcons fullback Greg Goosen began his career in Durban before, out of the blue, he secured a dream move to French club, Racing Metro.

Goosen joined Metro in 2006 and has gone on to represent the the Top 14 side both domestically and in Europe in recent seasons.

In 2010, looking for more first XV action, Goosen moved to La Rochelle. Newly promoted to the Top 14, La Rochelle have shown themselves to be very competitive at the top level of French rugby.

His performances there caught the eye of English Premiership side, the Newcastle Falcons, who signed Goosen in June 2011.
