Jérôme Guisset
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jérôme Guisset (born October 29, 1978) is a Franco-Australian professional rugby league player. He currently plays for Catalans Dragons as prop or second row.
He started his career with AS Saint Estève, then as a 16-year-old centre with the Canberra Raiders in the National Rugby League, where he played five times for the first grade, before bulking up and moving up to the front row. He was part of the 1997 and 1998 French senior championship winning St Estève sides.
He spent six seasons with the Warrington Wolves, making 124 appearances, but he left at the end of 2004 when he was not offered a new deal. He spent some time in 2005 playing rugby union for CA Brive, and toured with the France Sevens squad in New Zealand and the United States.
At the start of the 2005 season, the Wigan Warriors were suffering from a prop crisis after a career-ending injury to newly signed Luke Davico. Chairman Maurice Lindsay moved to fill the gap by bringing Guisset to the Warriors on a two-year contract. Jerome made 25 appearances for Wigan in 2005 and was one of the most consistent performers in an injury-ravaged season.
Mid-way through 2005, Guisset had agreed a deal with new Super League outfit Catalans Dragons and, in September, the club confirmed that he would be released from the second year of his contract.
