Julien Frier


Julien Frier is a French rugby union player and currently the captain of the Top 14 team CS Bourgoin-Jallieu.
After four years spent with Bourgoin, Frier signed for the nearby rival club FC Grenoble. He quickly established himself as a key player in the squad and was given the captaincy in his second season, leading Grenoble to promotion to the Top 16 in 2001–02 [Rugby Pro D2 season|2002] and helping them reach the play-offs in 2002–03 Rugby [Pro D2 season|2003]. He returned to Bourgoin at the end of the 2003–04 Rugby [Pro D2 season|2003–2004 season] and became the captain there as well.
In 2009, like the rest of the squad, Frier agreed to a considerable salary cut to help the club avoid bankruptcy.
