Nicolas Douchez
Trained at the Le Havre Academy after a spell at Paris FC, the Paris-born goalkeeper spends four seasons in Normandy, in the shadows of Alexander Vencel, the Slovakian international, without playing a single game with the first team. _Finally loaned to Chateauroux, Douchez seizes the opportunity to accumulate games and experience in Ligue 2. Scouted by Toulouse, he then joins the “Pink City” for a first season as a substitute to Christophe Revault. On his second season, he reveals himself in the limelight, thanks to excellent performances, leading him to become the first choice in the Toulouse goals. Transferred to the Stade Rennais after a less convincing 2007-2008 season, Douchez soon took his marks in the “Rouge et Noir” goals. Multiple and decisive saves are his usual lot, and his hard work was rewarded in October 2009 with a debut call-up in the French National Squad.
