Scotland's Kinghorn joins Toulouse after Jaminet departure
Scotland full-back Blair Kinghorn has joined Toulouse replacing France counterpart Melvyn Jaminet, the French Top 14 champions announced on Thursday.
The 26-year-old arrives from Scottish outfit Edinburgh on a three-year deal after it was announced that France's Jaminet would leave Toulouse for league rivals Toulon over the coming weeks.
Kinghorn can also feature on the wing and at fly-half, helping Ugo Mola to deal with a lack of depth in the number 10 shirt.
First-choice playmaker Romain Ntamack is out until at least next year with a serious knee injury with full-back Thomas Ramos and scrum-half Antoine Dupont stepping into the role.
Les Bleus captain Dupont will also be unavailable for Toulouse during the season as he prepares to play seven-a-side rugby at the Olympic Games in Paris.
Kinghorn and Jaminet's mid-season moves are unusual in rugby with players preferring to respect their contracts, which normally finish at the end of campaigns.
South Africa's two-time Rugby World Cup winner Cheslin Kolbe also changed clubs during a season, going from Toulouse to Toulon like Jaminet in 2021, for a reported fee of more than 1 million euros ($1.09 million).
Kinghorn will arrive in Toulouse on December 4, and could make his debut against Cardiff in the Champions Cup five days later.
