Melvyn Jaminet (born 30 June 1999) is a French professional rugby union player who plays as a fullback for Top 14 club Toulon and the France national team.[1]
Professional career
Melvyn Jaminet was called by Fabien Galthié to the French national team for the first time in June 2021, for the Australia summer tour.[2]
On 8 July 2024, Jaminet was suspended by the French Rugby Federation due to a racist post being discovered on his social media.[3]
Jaminet's club, Toulon, who he originally joined as a boy before spells with Toulouse and Perpignan, also slammed the remarks.
"Following the video of Melvyn Jaminet which has appeared on social media, Toulon condemn the comments made and distance themselves from them," Toulon said.
"An internal investigation is underway."[1]
