Racing 92 have released their list of signings for the 2025/2026 season and it is star-studded. Among them is Number 8 Nathan Hughes. The list also features Wallabies Prop Taniela Tupou, former Roosters Centre Joseph Manu and Flying Fijians pair Lekima Tagitagivalu and Selestino Ravutaumada.

For Hughes it’s his first venture into the French competitions after previously playing in Japan, England and New Zealand.

This move will put him right in the frame for Flying Fijians selection.

Former Black Rhinos Number 8 Nathan Hughes is in the sights of Top 14 club Racing 92. The Parisian club is still reeling from a poor 2025 season which saw them finish 10th and at times during the season in real danger of relegation.

Racing already boast a host of Fijians including Josua Tuisova, Vinaya Habosi, Wame Naituvi and the incoming Selestino Ravutaumada.

Hughes made a successful return from injury, his first performance of the season off the bench in the 50th minute for Urayasu against Toshiba Brave Lupus. The D-Rocks were outclassed to the tune of 61-19 and face a tough road trip to face the in-form Blue Revs.
