Martin EXPÉRIENCE

Born in Brittany in Chateaubriant in 1999, French-Haitian defender Martin Experience began his youth football with the Stade Rennais Academy setup, where he would stay until he was 18. Non-retained in the professional group, the left-back chose a new challenge, swapping Brittany for Spain, spending a season with Xerez CD's youth team. When he returned to France, he would cut his teeth with semi-professional clubs, spending two years each with both US Changé and US Avranches, and then he enjoyed a more successful spell with SO Cholet, scoring three times in his 58 appearances over two seasons. In 2024, he moved on to sign for AS Nancy Lorraine. His performances would earn him a call-up to the Haïti national team, for a Gold Cup qualifier against St Vincent and Grenada, playing in a 6-1 win in July 2021. Expérience went on to play in the Gold Cup tournament itself, but Haïti lost both their group stage matches, and bowed out. In 2026, Haïti managed to qualify for the World Cup being hosted in USA, Canada and Mexico, and Experience was named in the Haitian squad for the tournament.
