« I'm very happy to be able to make a long-term commitment to SRFC. I feel fulfilled at the club and I'm doing everything I can to repay the trust placed in me. The aim is to continue to be there when I'm called upon. ». Having arrived in Brittany from Troyes in the 2023 off-season, Gauthier Gallon has quickly established himself in the Rouge et Noir squad.
Named Ligue 2's best goalkeeper in 2021, Gallon has replaced Steve Mandanda on five occasions since his arrival. The 31-year-old from Nice is also unbeaten in a Breton shirt, with four wins in the Coupe de France and a Europa League success over Panathinaikos.
« Our trio with Steve and Geoffrey works very well. I try to bring my freshness and I know that I'm making progress alongside them. It makes a great team to work with, along with Oliv' (editor's note: Sorin, goalkeeping coach). » explains Gauthier. Previously contracted until 2026, the goalkeeper has now signed a new contract with Stade Rennais F.C. that runs until 2027.
