Laurent Frayssinous (born 7 May 1977) is a French professional rugby league coach and former player. He is the current head coach of both France and Canadian club, Ottawa Aces.[4]

Playing career[]

He represented France in the halves in the 2000 World Cup.[citation needed] Whilst playing for Villeneuve Leopards Frayssinous was selected to play at stand-off for France on the 2001 France tour of New Zealand and Papua New Guinea. He also played in a match against the touring Australian Kangaroos at the end of the 2005 season, scoring a try and kicking two goals.[5] Frayssinous played for Catalans Dragons when they reached the quarter finals of the 2006 Challenge Cup.

Coaching career[]

At the end of the 2012 season, Laurent Frayssinous was appointed head coach of the Catalans Dragons on a two-year contract, replacing Trent Robinson, who had left to coach the Sydney Roosters. At 35, he was the youngest coach in the Super League at the time, and the first French coach of the Perpignan-based club.[6] On the 22nd May 2017, after a 10-18 defeat by the Huddersfield Giants, he was dismissed by the board of directors at the club. On the 2nd July 2020, Frayssinous was appointed as the first head coach of the Ottawa Aces for their inaugural season in RFL League 1 in 2021.
