Ligue 2 side Bordeaux have this afternoon announced the signing of French winger Jérémy Livolant from Guingamp, with the 25-year-old putting pen to paper on a three-year contract.
The former French youth international is Les Girondins‘ fifth signing of the summer, as part of a squad rebuild which the club hope can see them secure promotion back to Ligue 1 at the second time of asking. Other arrivals have included Slovenian striker Žan Vipotnik from Maribor, French defender Jean Marcelin from Monaco, and former Sochaux captain Gaëtan Weissbeck, an attacking midfielder.
Livolant, who comes from nearby Morlaix, came through the youth ranks at Guingamp and had been named captain. After loan spells at Boulogne, Châteauroux and Sochaux, he had become a regular in the first-team over the past three campaigns. Last season, he registered nine goals and eleven assists in the second tier, helping the Bretons to a sixth-place finish.
