Mathis LAMBOURDE

Born in 2006, Mathis Lambourde began his playing days with COSMCS Saint-Denis, before spending a couple of seasons with FC Lilas, then Paris-Saint-Germain. He was picked up by Stade Rennais during his third year at JA Drancy, and he integrated Rennes' Academy setup in 2021. Vastly talented striker, he had an exceptional 2022/2023 season for the club, notching 24 goals in all competitions. His progression through the ranks was remarkable from U16s to National 2 (French Fourth Division) with the Reserves, via the U17s. But the real icing on the cake for the 2022/2023 season was being picked for the French U17s side which played in the U17 European Championships, reaching the final of the competition. Despite being a substitute at the beginning of the tournament, he would soon gain a place in the starting line-up from the Quarter-Finals stage, scoring important goals against England and Spain. A real start of the future, he signed his first professional contract with Rennes on 28th July 2023.
