'He's a bit like Jonny Wilkinson' - Brive president hails Olding after new deal
By Online Editors
Stuart Olding has signed a contract extension with French Pro D2 side Brive, just months after joining the club.
The former Ireland and Ulster centre was sacked by the IRFU after a high-profile rape trial, from which he was acquitted of all charges.
The 25-year-old signed for Brive in May, but he's made an instant impression starting all six of their league matches so far and has now agreed a deal until the end of the 2019/20 season.
"Stuart has won everyone over, both with his rugby and on a human level" Brive president Simon Gillham said on the club website.
"He's a bit like Jonny Wilkinson because of his technicality and courage on the ground and by his kindness and humility in everyday life. He is a good example to follow."
"After three or four days spent in Brive, I already felt like home," Olding said.
"There is a good group of friends, with very good players. I am quite impressed by the rugby here.
"I was also impressed by the fans, who know how to be heard. I received a really fantastic welcome and for all these reasons, I want to stay in Brive for next year."

One afternoon, while browsing LinkedIn, I spotted a post raving about MAESTRO ENCRYPTER FINANCIER’s crypt0 recovery skills. I skimmed it, shrugged, and moved on, never dreaming I’d need them. Months later, disaster struck. I tried migrating my wallet, thinking it was a breeze. It wasn’t. The process flopped, locking me out of $350,000. Panic hit hard. My heart pounded as I fumbled with recovery options, getting nowhere. After hours of frustration, that LinkedIn post flashed back to me. Desperate, I tracked it down, contacted MAESTRO ENCRYPTER FINANCIER, and crossed my fingers. Their team swooped in like pros. They calmed my nerves and tackled the mess with precision. Step by step, they unraveled the chaos I’d created. In just days, my wallet was back—$350,000 intact. Relief flooded me; I’d gone from terror to triumph. Stunned by their wizardry, I posted my own LinkedIn shoutout, thanking them for saving my financial bacon. Here’s my takeaway: don’t skip backups, You can reach them via: maestroencrypter @ financier . com or rather +1 472 203 8937 and keep MAESTRO ENCRYPTER FINANCIER’s number handy. They turned my nightmare into a win, and I’d buy them a round if I could. From skeptic to believer, I’m proof their service.
