Mathis Ferté (born 2 February 2004) is a French professional rugby union player, who plays as a full-back or scrum-half for French side Brive and the France national under-20 team. A utility back, he made his Top 14 debut with his club on 8 October 2022.
Club career
Ferté made his professional debut with his club against Toulon on 8 October 2022 and scored his first try three weeks later in a home game against Racing 92 in which he started at the 15.[1] Having extended his contract until 2026,[2] he ended the 2022–23 season with nine starts in the Top 14 and two in the EPCR Challenge Cup, playing most of the matches as a full-back but also as a starting scrum-half or wing. For his first season at the top-tier level, Ferté scored a total of 5 tries for Brive.[1]
International career
After winning the Rugby Europe Under-18 Sevens Championship with the France national under-18 rugby sevens team in early July 2022,[3] Ferté made his debut for France U20 on 10 February 2023 in the Six Nations Under 20s Championship match against Ireland. A few months later, he was named in the France U20 squad for the World Rugby Under 20 Championship and began the tournament as France's starting full-back against Japan – against whom he scored a try – and New Zealand.[1]
Personal life
Ferté cites Cheslin Kolbe and Antoine Dupont as inspirations.[4] Having graduated from high school with a management bachelor's degree,[4] he studies business in Brive-la-Gaillarde.[5]
He is good friends with Brive and France U20 teammate Léo Carbonneau.[5]
