Lesley Ugochukwu arrived at Stade Rennais aged 8 in 2012. A versatile midfielder, he showed lots of potential to make it at a higher level as soon as he joined the Academy in 2019. The club offered him an apprentice contract of a year, and a first professional contract automatically in the Summer of 2020. On the eve of the 2020/2021 season, he became the second youngest professional in the history of the club, aged just 16 years, 3 months and 4 days. In April 2021, he made his first three appearances as a professional in the First Team, and signed a contract extension on 1st July of the same year.
