Life and career

edit

Boissier was born in Montauban in 1994.[3] He joined Rodez as a 16-year-old,[4] and went on to make 76 appearances in the fourth-tier Championnat de France Amateur and a further 26 in the Championnat National.[5] He was named in the 2017–18 Team of the Year at the Championnat National awards ceremony.[6] After six senior seasons, he left Rodez, not "for the sake of it, nor for the money" but to further his development as a player.[7]

He signed for another National team, Le Mans,[4] helped them gain promotion to Ligue 2 in his first season – not least by scoring in each leg of the play-offs[8] – and was again named in the Team of the Year.[9] He made his Ligue 2 debut in the starting eleven for Le Mans' opening fixture of the 2019–20 season,[5] and played regularly for a time, but gradually lost his place in the face of significant competition in midfield, and in January 2020, returned to Rodez on loan to the end of the campaign.[10]
