Ewan Hatfout

Signs contract with Le Mans

Hatfout signed a contract extension with Le Mans FC through 2029, the club announced.

Analysis: Hatfout joined the club in 2020 and has been part of one of the most significant periods in Le Mans' recent history, playing a key role in the club's rise from the National to Ligue 1, including being between the posts for the decisive promotion match at Bastia. The 26-year-old goalkeeper has also won three penalty shootouts in the Coupe de France during his time at the club and contributed to the reserve team's promotion to National 2 last season, demonstrating the commitment and team-first mentality that have made him one of the most valued figures in the squad. His extension secures a player who has grown into one of the club's most important figures both on and off the pitch as Le Mans prepare for their first season in Ligue 1.
