I’d like to thank the club for its trust, as well as the coaches and trainers who help me improve every day. This contract motivates me even more to work hard to keep developing and achieve my goals. ”

Julien Sablé, Youth Academy Director: “Martin has shown great maturity since his arrival. He is a committed, disciplined goalkeeper who is very receptive to the work set for him. This signing is a reward for his efforts and his daily dedication. It is now up to him to continue his development with the same high standards.”

Maurice Cohen, Deputy Vice-president: “The signing of Martin’s first professional contract perfectly illustrates the mission of our academy: to support young talents in their development and enable them to reach the highest level. We are delighted to see him take this step and wish him every success in Le Gym's colours.”
