Career

Early years

Born in Paris, France, Sainte-Luce moved to Wales as a teenager and worked his way through the Cardiff City Academy under the stewardship of the Head of Academy Neal Ardley. [1] The winger made his debut for the senior team on 14 August 2012, in a 2–1 defeat to Northampton Town in the first round of the Football League Cup. [2] However, despite showing promise for "The Bluebirds" the 19-year–old had his contract terminated on 29 January 2013 [3] following an incident in which he was found guilty of assaulting two girls in a Cardiff nightclub. Sainte-Luce avoided a six–month prison sentence but was ordered to pay £1,250 compensation to the girls, given a 180-hour community service order and handed a 10–week 8pm–6am curfew for the unprovoked attack. [4]

AFC Wimbledon

In spite of his run–in with the law, AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley decided to offer the young winger a chance to prove himself, signing him on a six–month contract with the option of a further year on 31 January 2013. [5] Sainte-Luce made his Football League debut in a 2–1 win over Bradford City on 16 February 2013 as a 64th minute substitute for Rashid Yussuff. [6] Ardley's faith in him was soon repaid as on 23 February 2013, Sainte-Luce scored his first Football League goal for "The Dons" in a 1–0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge. [7] The 19-year–old winger scored his second goal for the club in a 2–0 win over Morecambe on 23 March 2013. [8] On 25 June 2013, it was announced that manager Neal Ardley had taken up the option of a one-year extension on the 20-year–old winger's contract, retaining him at Kingsmeadow|The Cherry Red Records Stadium for the 2013–14 season. [9] On 7 January 2015, his contract was terminated by mutual consent due to a lack of first team action. [10]

Gateshead

Sainte-Luce signed a short-term, six-month deal with Conference Premier side Gateshead on 15 January. [11] Sainte-Luce made his Gateshead debut two days later in their 2–0 win at Nuneaton Town. [12] He scored his first goals for Gateshead in their 2–2 draw at Grimsby Town on 4 April. [13] However, he was not offered a new deal at the end of the season and left the club in June. [14]
