'I want to find my best level quickly' - Paddy Jackson makes his rugby return in France
Paddy Jackson made his return to rugby yesterday as he turned out for pre-season training for the first time with new club Perpignan.
The 26-year-old was pictured meeting his new team-mates at Perpignan's training base in the south of France. Jackson signed a two-year deal with the newly-promoted French side last month.
The fly-half and fellow former Ulster star Stuart Olding, who has signed a deal to play with French ProD2 side Brive, were acquitted of all charges in a high-profile rape case but had their contracts revoked by the IRFU afterwards.
"I want to find my best level quickly, I may be a little rusty but not too much," Jackson told 'L'équipe'. "I will learn the culture of the team, I will recover ground and that's good."
