Antoine Rabillard

Signs contract extension

Rabillard has signed a contract extension with Le Mans, committing to a fourth consecutive season at the club ahead of their Ligue 1 return, the club announced.

Analysis: Rabillard ended what has been his best individual season in the famous gold shirt, contributing nine goals and six assists across the Ligue 2 campaign while earning the UNFP Player of the Month award for March. Rabillard brings vast experience of French football across all levels having made 135 National and 54 Ligue 2 appearances while securing five promotions throughout his career, and now prepares to rediscover Ligue 1 after a brief spell with Marseille in 2016 and 2017. His commitment to the project is a significant boost for Le Mans as they prepare for the biggest challenge in the club's recent history.
