The signing of these three new contracts shows the club's desire to produce and keep homegrown players.”

Stéphane Guasch, one of the Directors in charge of Youth and Development said: “We are delighted that these three young players have signed their first contract with the club. These three players have a bright future ahead of them and we all look forward to seeing them continue to develop within our reserve team to eventually gain a place in our First team squad in the future. We are working closely with Steve McNamara and the U19 staff to build the reserve team squad who will play in the French Elite 1 Championship next season. The 6 others U19 players who signed their first contract this season (Arthur Mourgue, Florian Vailhen, Barthélémy Rougé, Sébastien Bled, Corentin Le Cam and Mathieu Laguerre) will be promoted in the reserve team and we hope to secure the future of others young players in the weeks to come.”
