Former Buffalo Bills running back Christian Wade is returning to his first love.
Wade recently announced that he’s signing with the Racing 92 rugby club. The team is located in Nanterre, France, and Wade confirmed the news himself on social media:
I’m excited to announce I’ve officially signed for @racing92
Looking forward to working with this special group of people and winning championships!
With God, all things are possible 🙏🏿❤️ pic.twitter.com/FzOePyR5sk— Christian Wade (@ChristianWade3) September 12, 2022
The 31-year-old spent the past three years in Buffalo. The Bills were allocated the dynamic English rugby player in the NFL’s International Pathway Program.
Prior to signing with the Bills, Wade played for the Wasps rugby club in England from 2011 to 2018.
Never making an impact on the Bills during a regular season contest, Wade did ignite fans during the preseason. Specifically against the Carolina Panthers, he displayed his talents by ripping off a 65-yard touchdown run in one game in 2019.
Wade ended up spending 2021 injured with a shoulder issue.
In April, the Bills officially released Wade.
