This season, I played in the Meridian cup in Egypt with the French team. This experience gives me the opportunity to discover another country and another culture. We played 4 matches (2 wins and 2 draws) allowing us to compare our level of play with the African teams. We finished 3rd in the tournament.

At the same time in Caen I am playing permanently for the reserve team coached by Roger Fleury. He is a strict coach who does not hesitate to speak his mind, he wants me playing a more pivotal role in midfield . I went a step further and played some friendlies with the 1st team.

Thanks to my continuing form, my name appears on the match sheet for the team facing Niort.
But the long awaited day came on March 9th 2003, I played my first 10 minutes in league 2 at Amiens against Lorient. At this moment I thought of all my previous coaches and my family without whom I wouldn’t be there. I am happy to give them back what they all brought me throughout my training. Philippe Tranchant remains my best adviser.

I trained under Patrick Remy but I still play some football with CFA2. I then reach my initial aspiration, to play with the professional team. I manage, like the rest of the team to have a good season and I am appointed on a permanent basis in April against Grenoble (0-0) where I managed to hit the post. This year finishes with a 2 year trainee contract.

My time at the Stade Malherbe de Caen training centre is coming to an end. I am torn by my leaving , because I spent 3 very good years there. I would like to thank all the staff, who supported and listened to me. With a little wink to the cleaning ladies! I returned to Guadeloupe for the first time since coming to France and now have the opportunity to share all this success with my friends and family who can see how far I have come since leaving Guadeloupe.
