Johan Goosen is in line for a shock return to rugby.
The Springbok playmaker shocked the rugby world back in December by announcing his retirement at just 23 years of age.
The versatile back was said to have a disagreement with his bosses at Racing, resulting in him hanging up his boots in order to get a release from his contract.
He has been linked with a number of moves since the ‘retirement,’ but it seems his plan didn’t work, and he has now conceded he must return to Racing if he is to continue his playing career.
Former All Blacks outhalf Dan Carter was booed by his own fans last night on his return for the Parisian club after his drink driving charge, and we can’t help but wonder what kind of reception Goosen would get should he return…
How about this for a @midi_olympique headline…

According to the paper, Goosen realises that if he wants to play rugby again it can only be with Racing because of legal restrictions

So "he's no other choice" than returning to Paris & picking up where he left off with Racing, as well as pocketing his €40k a month wages

According to sources it could be only "a matter of days" before the Goose returns to the Racing nest
