From Berlin to Paris

Bertrand spent last season with the Berlin Thunder, where he established himself as a reliable and dependable part of the offensive line. Having proven himself in a competitive environment, the French lineman now returns home to join the Paris Lights and bring that experience to a first-year franchise looking to build a strong foundation up front.
