Paul Costes Bio

Paul Costes is a talented centre who currently represents Toulouse. A young and exciting talent, he’s already won the Top 14 multiple times and the European Rugby Champions Cup

Born in Toulouse on 4 April 2003, Paul Costes is the son of Arnaud Costes, a former French international rugby player who was capped 14 times by his country. 

Unsurprisingly, Paul followed in his father’s footsteps from a young age. As a child he began playing at Toulouse Université Club, before joining Colomiers as a junior. A few years later, he went to Toulouse as a second-year cadet. 

He then went on to make his professional debut for Toulouse in 2022. The very next week, he scored his first try for the club. Despite still being in the early years of his career, Paul Costes has already been hugely successful with Toulouse. He’s already won both the Top 14 title and the European Rugby Champions Cup. In addition, he’s already started to represent the France U20 team. 

Still young and with his best years ahead of him, we can’t wait to see how the career of Paul Costes progresses.
