The French outfit announced: “24-year-old Tottenham defender and Welsh international Joe Rodon joins Stade Rennais FC on a one-season loan, with an option to buy.
“Eager to play in Europe, particularly with a view to the next World Cup, Joe Rodon will rediscover the atmosphere of the banks of the Vilaine, and a Celtic air that he knows very well, that of Bro gozh ma zadoù, the same as the Welsh anthem.
“Degemer Matt Joe!”
Olivier Cloarec, Executive Chairman – General Manager of Stade Rennais FC said: “The objective was to recruit two central defenders before the resumption. It’s done after the arrival of Arthur and Joe. We are happy that Bruno can have these two players before the resumption of the championship and the first derby of the season against Lorient. He is a player who has a lot of desire and who is happy to arrive in Rennes. He will bring aggression in our defense. It was one of the points that we wanted to improve compared to last season. Joe fulfills all the criteria of the profile sought. As an international, he needs to play. He also contributed a lot to the qualification of Wales for the World Cup. He is a true leader on the field. Florian.”
