Trinh-Duc extends Montpellier contract

Paris (AFP) - France international fly-half Francois Trinh-Duc has extended his contract with Montpellier, the 27-year-old revealed on his Facebook page.

"Exclusively for my fans, I've agreed to continue the adventure with Montpellier," wrote the 27-year-old, who has played 48 times for France.

Press sources claim he has prolonged his contract until 2016.

The news is a welcome boost for Montpellier, just two weeks after captain and fellow France international flanker Fulgence Ouedraogo also signed a contract extension.

Trinh-Duc came up through the youth ranks with Montpellier and helped them reach the 2011 Top 14 final where they were beaten 15-10 by Toulouse.
