After six years wearing the blue jersey of Bourgoin, Chabal wanted to change his horizons and continue his professional development as a player at another club. He wished to join Stade Toulousain, but the club of the Pink City made no offer for his services. However, Philippe Saint-André, new sporting director at Sale Sharks, signed him on a two year contract with the Manchester outfit. Although Chabal had played at flanker throughout his time at Bourgoin, Saint-André selected him at No. 8 in his first match for Sale.
