Orléans had managed to achieve good results at the end of 2021. It must be said that Germain Castano had finally been able to count on a full squad, with 10 professional players under contract.

As a result, the staff of the Loiretain club set out to find two new players, one to permanently replace DJ Strawberry, the other to take the place of the former North Carolina star, until his return from injury.
