Quinn Roux

Club career

Early career Roux started playing for Western Province in 2011, and was a member of the side which won the 2012 Vodacom Cup, the team's first ever win in the competition. Roux's performances for Western Province led to a call up for Super Rugby side, the Stormers. He made his Super Rugby debut on 2 June 2012, replacing Eben Etzebeth in the 51st minute of 19–14 win over the Bulls.

Leinster In June 2012 it was announced that Roux was moving to Irish provincial team Leinster on a one-year deal. He joined the squad for the 2012–13 season. Roux played in nine games in the 2012–13 Pro12, starting in seven of these. Roux did not feature for Leinster in the 2012–13 Heineken Cup as the team was eliminated in the pool stages. After the team were knocked down to the 2012–13 European Challenge Cup, however, Roux featured in each of Leinster's matches. He made his European debut as a replacement against London Wasps in the quarter-final, before also coming on as a replacement against Biarritz. Roux then started for Leinster in the Challenge Cup final against Stade Français, which saw Leinster crowned champions. He extended his contract with Leinster in March 2013, signing a two-year extension to the original deal.

In the following season, Roux made seven appearances in the Pro12, with all but one of his appearances coming as starts. The move to Connacht saw him reunited with his former Western Province teammate Danie Poolman. Roux made his Connacht debut on 6 September 2014, when he started against Newport Gwent Dragons in the first game of the 2014–15 Pro12, and played the full 80 minutes in a Connacht victory. Roux started the game against his parent club Leinster on 19 September 2014, as Connacht pulled off an unlikely victory over their Irish rivals.

Roux continued to feature regularly for Connacht, and extended his loan deal for the remainder of the season, taking him to the end of his contract with Leinster. It was announced in January 2015 that at the end of his contract with Leinster, Roux would join Connacht permanently, with the second row signing a deal to take him up to the summer of 2017.

Toulon On 14 June 2021, it was confirmed that Roux left Ireland to join French giants Toulon in the Top 14 competition ahead of the 2021-22 season.

Bath On 27 June 2022, Roux moved to the UK as he signs for English side Bath in the Premiership Rugby for the 2022-23 season.

International career Roux debuted for Ireland in the second test in their 2016 series against South Africa.
