Théo Faucher's bio

Théo Faucher Life and Career Highlights.

Théo Faucher has become an integral part of the Sarlat Rugby squad and locker room. If a birds-eye view of Théo Faucher’s rugby career is a testament to just one thing, it’s his fiercely loyal nature. Starting out at just six years of age with SA Trélissac Rugby, he remained there until he was in his 20s before making his first and only move to Sarlat Rugby Team.

During his time at Trélissac, Théo moved through the ranks, and eventually found himself joining the senior Federal 1 division team in 2019. Here he would play for two seasons under the leadership of sports manager and coach Stéphane Labrousse.

Unfortunately, while the team had experienced success as vice-champions of the 2018 Federal 1 Championship, financial problems set in and saw a steady decline. Eventually, coach Labrousse jumped ships to take the reins at Sarlat Rugby Team, taking the fiercely loyal Théo with him.

Sarlat Rugby recently finished its first season without a single loss since the club’s founding back in 1903, with a perfect 22 wins for 22 games played.

The addition of players like Lucas Caneda, Hemani Paea, Ikapote Fono and Dato Okriashvili has turned a team that used to used to play the bottom brackets into a contender qualified for the French Federal 2 championship finals and a brand that has secured a global following, with new fans hailing from every corner of the world.

This performance on the field has attracted the attention of big sports brands like Samurai. Based just across the channel in the U.K., Samurai Sportswear is a leading international kit supplier to sporting clubs from Australia and New Zealand to the English Premiership Rugby division. And, in it has been doing so for the last 25 years. And, in 2021, Samurai came onboard as Sarlat Rugby Team’s new kit supplier.

When word that Samurai Sportswear would potentially become the new kit sponsor for the team first spread, there was more than a little enthusiasm from some of the players. The current kit at the time left quite a lot to be desired. And, while not everyone knew who Samurai was at first, many players did.
