Roux signs for Oyonnax

South African prop Jacobus Roux has signed for Oyonnax as medical cover for Antoine Guillamon, the Top 14 side announced on Monday.

The 33-year-old Roux played with the Lions in South Africa last year, having previously featured for the Leopards (2002-2006), Griquas (2007-2008), Cheetahs (2007) and Bulls (2010).

He also played for French clubs Clermont (2008-2009) and Begles-Bordeaux (2011-2012) and Italian club Benetton (2012-2013).

Guillamon, 23, is sidelined with a herniated disc as Oyonnax sit eighth in the Top 14, two points off a play-off place and 11 points clear of the relegation zone.
