Sosthène Ouraga: US Vimy complete free transfer for Franco-Ivorian left-back from Racing Foot B

US Vimy have completed the signing of left-back Sosthène Ouraga on a free transfer from Racing Foot B, with his contract at the French club running from 2026-07-01 to 2027-06-30.

The 24-year-old defender, who holds both French and Ivorian nationality, joins Vimy after leaving the reserve side of Racing Club de France. The move is officially recorded as a free transfer, with no market value listed for the player at the time of the switch. Ouraga, born in Paris and primarily deployed as a left-back despite being right-footed, is registered as a defender for US Vimy and is now under contract for one season.

Ouraga’s transfer keeps him in France, moving from Racing Foot B to another French side, but also underlines his status as a dual-national player with links to both France and Côte d’Ivoire. Although the league levels for both Racing Foot B and US Vimy are not specified, the move represents a confirmed change of club within the French football pyramid rather than a step into his other home nation’s domestic scene.

The formal transaction was logged as a free transfer and there is no stated market value attached to the player in the data, meaning US Vimy have secured the Franco-Ivorian without a fee and without a publicly assessed valuation at the time of signing. Contract details beyond the start and end dates, such as extension options or wage structure, are not disclosed.

At US Vimy, Ouraga is expected to operate in his familiar role on the left side of defence. His profile lists left-back as his main position, supported by his classification as a defender. Being right-footed yet deployed on the left gives Vimy a player capable of driving inside with the ball or offering a different passing angle from the flank, though no detailed tactical or statistical breakdown of his recent campaigns is provided in the available information.

The data confirms his age as 24, derived from a date of birth of 04 Feb 2002 and recorded as “04/02/2002 (24)”. He is also listed as associated with US Vimy as his current club and national team entry, indicating a clear and completed registration with his new side. No previous senior clubs beyond Racing Foot B are detailed in the material, and there are no recorded figures for appearances, goals, assists, or specific match performances in recent seasons.

With contract expiry set for 2027-06-30 and no transfer fee paid, there is a possibility that, unless extended or sold, Ouraga could become a free agent at the end of his deal with US Vimy. For now, though, the move marks a confirmed step in his career: a Paris-born, Franco-Ivorian full-back starting a new chapter at US Vimy, aiming to establish himself and shape the next phase of his professional path in French football.
