Alain NOËL

Versatile defender Alain Noël arrived at Stade Rennais in the Summer of 1988 from Orléans, where he had been playing in the Second Division. After two full seasons in Division 2 with the Red and Blacks under Manager Raymond Kéruzoré, he also had a brief taste of the First Division in the 1990/1991 season, where he only managed to play three matches. In the 1991/1992 season, Manager Didier Notheaux gave him more game-time, in defence and in midfield (28 matches) in a year where Rennes got relegated in the play-off at the end of the season. Noël left in 1992 to join Créteil, having made a total of 86 appearances for Rennes, scoring once in that time.
