September 4, 2022: first convincing match
The summer of 2022 was marked by the sensational signing of Melvyn Jaminet at Stade Toulouse. In search of a full-back worthy of competing with Thomas Ramos, the red and black club thinks it has smelled the right move by offering itself the gunner from Perpignan. Coming out of four full seasons in Catalonia, the international number 15 arrives with new pressure on the banks of the Garonne but is confident for his first. Facing Bordeaux-Bègles, opening the Top 14, Jaminet scores seven crucial points offering a last-minute success to the Rouge et Noir.

June 17, 2023: a first Brennus shield… in the stands
Like Pierre-Louis Barassi or Ange Capuozzo, Melvyn Jaminet chose the Toulouse project to win titles. And despite two major ankle sprains, and a lost back position in Blue, the red and black number 15 snagged a title on his record. From the stands, the red and black number 15 was able to widen his eyes when Romain Ntamack pierced the La Rochelle defense in the final minutes of the Top 14 final. First season in Toulouse, and first shield from Brennus for Jaminet. The last ? The native of Var will try to help the RCT to reconquer Saint-Denis, ten years after Toulon’s last victory.
