On 20 Jul 2021 it was confirmed that Lambert had left Catalans after the expiration of his contract[5]

In July 2021 Lezignan announced that they had signed Bélmas.[6]

Belmas signed for Toulouse ahead of the 2022 Super League season, but snapped his achilles heel two days later. Toulouse committed to honouring his contract and helping his recovery from what could be a career ending injury.[7][8] In June 2022 it was announced that Belmas had signed a two-year deal with Toulouse.[9] On 15 October 2023, Belmas played in Toulouse Olympique's upset loss in the Million Pound Game against the London Broncos.[10]
