Settled Sexton likely to kick on at Racing for third season

Jonathan Sexton hopes to have his contract situation sorted out in the next few weeks amid growing speculation he may remain with Racing Metro 92 in France for at least a third season.

The 29-year old began his second campaign with the big-spending Paris club in splendid fashion last weekend, landing a late match winning penalty away to Montpellier minutes after tying up the match in another flawless four from four kicking display to win 19-16.

The out-half confirmed during Ireland’s two-match tour to Argentina in June that he had the option of a third season with Racing Metro.
